Abstract

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) has been formed on the basis of The Public Interest Theory, against the information asymmetry in capital markets and this theory suggests that, regulations are effective. On the other hand, in order to explain the rapid widespread of (IAS/IFRS) amoung the countries; the isomorphic approaches of The New Institutional Theory come to the forefront. The aim of this thesis is; whether the results of the (IAS/IFRS) regulations are successful or not, by examining it in accordance with the other various criteria. Within this purpose of frame, with the accounting executives of the companies in the manifacturing sector of Istanbul Stock Exchange, a questionnaire measure was applied dealing with; if IAS/IFRS regulations meet the requirements (effectiveness) and what are their perceptions about the other criteria of the applied regulations. Using the results a validity and reliability analysis was performed. In the ongoing study, a causality (regression) analysis was conducted about the relation between "effectiveness" and "efficiency", and relationship between the size of “relevance, coherence and added value”. In addition, "efficiency", “relevance", "coherence" and "added value” dimensions which are important for the effectiveness of the IAS/IFRS regulations had been studied. At the end of the study, it has been understood that the ultimate goal of regulation hasn't yet been achieved at the desired level with regard to reducing the cost of capital of companies, increasing foreign capital and ultimately ensuring the effectiveness of the capital market. However, the other aims of the regulation (transparency, comparability, etc.) have been achieved to a great extend; it has become clear that regulatory management should be more effective in areas such as auditing, information and training that contribute to regulatory compliance. The efficiency, relevance and value added criteria of the regulation have generally met whereas, the consistency criterion has not met adequately.
