Abstract

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has been promoting a worldwide accounting harmonization and convergence project for more than a decade now with the declared purpose to increase comparability of financial information worldwide. We conduct a historical and chronological analysis of the evolution of the Romanian accounting and audit regulations and their comparability to the international standards, following a period of more than two decades, post-communism until today. Romanian regulators have adopted many changes of the accounting regulations in a short period of time, moving from the International Accounting Standards (IAS) partial adoption, to the European Union (EU) directives, to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These changes have had an impact on the listed companies which have applied them.
