Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of one of the most controversial and strongly-opposed

accounting standards of recent years affecting UK companies, IFRS 2/FRS 20. The standard

requires the expensing of share-based payments. The findings of the study show that the

accounting standards IFRS 2/FRS 20 have had only a modest impact upon selected

performance measures. Findings of this research are out of line with previous studies,

which examined the position prior to the implementation of mandatory expensing and

mainly cover other countries. Given the modest impact, a question arises as to why the

standard was opposed so strongly. It could be concluded that the impact of the standard

was overstated to fuel opposition.
