Abstract

The implementation of a new accounting referential IAS/IFRS introduced a new philosophy for the estimation and the valorisation of a corporation's assets as well as liabilities. Our objective is to identify the main factors which influence a practitioner's choice of the fair value as a basis for evaluation. Empirical results indicate that businesses owned by a foreign group whose auditor is affiliated with a 'Big Four' chose the fair value. Furthermore, the absence of complex fiscal adjustments and the corporation's field of activity are important factors which influence the choice of the practitioner.
