Business Combinations under Common Control
IFRS do not specify how to account for business combinations under common control (BCUCC). This study examines the practice, determinants, and earnings quality of different accounting methods used for BCUCC. A descriptive analysis presents the accounting and disclosure practice. Based on the identified accounting methods (acquisition method and book value method), an empirical analysis sheds light on determinants that drive the accounting method choice. Moreover, the consequences of the accounting method choices are investigated with respect to the extent to which companies can manage or even manipulate earnings. Findings of this study have important implications for the IASB's research project on BCUCC, users and preparers of financial statements, auditors, and enforcement institutions.
Performance Measurement Systems

Influence of National Culture on IFRS Practice
The adoption of IFRS for group accounts of capital market oriented EU companies in 2005 was a milestone in European and international accounting harmonization. The benefits of a harmonized EU capital market, however, might be jeopardized by the inconsistent application of IFRS due to remaining national peculiarities. This study investigates IFRS measurement and disclosure practices in the leading EU economies of France, Germany and the UK. The empirical results show that differences in IFRS application are associated with national cultural differences. The findings of the study lead to several implications for IFRS accounting research and practice.
