The selection criteria are related to the journal field, the year of the publication, the country sample, and the methodological approach. The empirical analysis is segregation by region Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania and regression based methodologies dominate Results & Conclusions: The results suggest that the positive effect of IFRS adoption on value relevance is pronounced in those countries in Europe and America which have adopted full IFRS. To the contrary, in most developing countries in Asia and Africa, the effects are weak due to the poor reporting infrastructure and the underdeveloped system of financial governance.
