Cost–Benefit Analysis of International Financial Reporting Standard and Russian Accounting Standard Integration: What Does Comparability Cost?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In Russia, firms with consolidated financial statements must produce financial statements in both RAS (Russian accounting standards) and IFRS (international financial reporting standards). Unconsolidated SMEs are only required to use RAS. Using hand-collected data from 2010–2013 (pre- and post-IFRS adoption periods), we find income measures under RAS are converging to income measures under IFRS. The quality of earnings exhibits no change under IFRS, while RAS earnings are being managed upward for firms that have adopted IFRS and downward for firms that have not adopted IFRS. The relative variation in market and book values differs more widely under IFRS when compared to RAS, implying more volatility and risk under IFRS. We attribute our findings to a monitoring effect derived from IFRS.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
