Abstract

Objective: This paper aimed to study the impact of implementing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on companies’ risk assessment. Method: For the above, the financial asset valuation model was calculated for 18 thousand companies in Colombia before and after 2015, the year of the implementation of the IFRS in this country. Results: The cost of capital increased by 4% after applying IFRS standards, although the weight of financial risk in the total risk did not change due to adopting the new accounting standards. Discussions: Companies dedicated to sectors related to raw materials, real estate activities, and natural resources showed greater sensitivity to market performance; however, companies in the manufacturing industry showed a negative correlation with the market. Conclusions: It can be concluded that IFRS contributes to a better valuation of the risk of the companies’ capital by better discounting the capacity of the firms to generate cash flows and profits to face debts.
