The current changes in business settings have directed companies to conduct business at international level, which requires the use of financial instruments. The mandatory MFRS 7, an-equivalent to the IFRS 7 standard shall be applied for annual financial periods beginning or after 1 Jan 2012. It caters for entities to disclose their involvement with financial instruments. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the financial instruments disclosure (FID) practices of Malaysian listed companies; specifically, their level of compliance with MFRS 7. The mean score for FID is 80.76%, which indicates that, in general, companies have complied with MFRS 7, although there are several requirements omitted by some companies. Furthermore, in light of the revision of MCCG in 2012, this study examines the association of corporate governance mechanisms with the extent of FID among companies. The corporate governance characteristics used in this study are board expertise, audit committee independence, audit fee, external and internal audit functions. This study applied the agency theory and formulated five hypotheses to test the extent of the relationship between FID and corporate governance characteristics. Based on a total sample of 319 Malaysian public listed companies for financial year end 2012, the analysis revealed that FID is significantly and positively associated with audit committee independence and external audit functions, while internal audit is negatively associated. The results suggest that audit committee members need to be independent to discharge their duties effectively; in addition, there should be an internal audit function that is independent, reliable and functioning in a timely manner. This is crucial in order to strengthen the role of the auditing function within the firm. Moreover, the results attest that, Big Four audit firms are more likely to ensure high compliance with applicable accounting standards compared to non-Big Four, as they are internationally recognised, and have more resources and expertise. Apart from contributing to the literature on financial reporting and corporate governance, this study may serve as a valuable input for regulators and standard setters to encourage strict enforcement of the incorporation of effective corporate governance practices in Malaysian listed companies, as this is likely to have some influence on the level of compliance with MFRS.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, University of Amsterdam, course: Bachelor of Science in Accounting & Control, language: English, abstract: This paper investigates the adequacy of IFRS 7 by measuring companies’ compliance and extent of disclosure. Adequacy is defined as: to what extent does the standard achieves its objective, which is, to require entities to disclose certain information associated with the use of financial instruments. For this purpose, the annual reports of 21 European electricity companies with fiscal years ending December 31, 2007 have been examined. The author constructed an unweighted disclosure index of 103 items, based on the IFRS 7 requirements, for quantifying the extent of disclosure. The results suggest that the sample companies varied in disclosure levels. Certain required disclosures were sometimes not provided. For instance, the majority of the sample companies provided quantitative disclosures of market risk; however the market risk measurement models are insufficiently explained. The limitations inherent to the models used were usually not discussed. Further, the results show that electricity companies were not keen on providing additional disclosures. This study also seeks to find associations between the extent of disclosure and some corporate characteristics of which statistical relationships were found in prior literature, such as corporate size, listing status, profitability, leverage and auditor size. However, this ended up without any significant findings. This is likely due to the sample size which is inappropriate for statistical testing. Finally, the paper concludes that the shortcomings in disclosure call for regulation. It is expected that, if no regulation were in place, little would be disclosed with respect to risk associated with the use of financial instruments.

In the United Kingdom Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 13 requires narrative and numerical disclosure of all financial instruments held or issued, in order to provide information about their impact on the entity's risk profile. FRS 13 came into force for March 1999 year-ends. Under FRS 13 firms are required to disclose various details of the carrying amounts of financial liabilities and assets. In particular firms must specify the currency in which liabilities and assets are held, and show separately those liabilities and assets at fixed interest rates, those at floating interest rates and those on which no interest is paid. This data enables the determination of the proportion of a firm's debt that is fixed or floating and a firm's foreign currency debt mix. This paper presents the initial results from a detailed analysis of these risk management disclosures in the annual reports of 100 UK non-financial firms for the period March 1999 to December 1999.

Michael Erkens analyzes the determinants and consequences of information disclosure. He presents an empirical investigation of corporate risk management disclosures of nearly 400 firms from 20 European countries. The results show that countries’ institutional settings and cultural values are predominant factors why firms disclose information on their risk management practices. In another study, the author analyzes the economic consequences associated with the publication of an annual report in English by European firms from non-English speaking countries. He finds that the release of English annual reports attracts more analysts and foreign investors to the firm, and decreases information asymmetries between insiders and outsiders of the firm.

Owing to global financial crisis which raised issues regarding accounting treatment of financial instruments, various accounting standards setting bodies examined the robustness of accounting for financial instruments. Further, Ind AS transition resulted in high-quality, principles-based, globally comparable financial reporting of large Indian companies.
