| Resumo: | This paper examines the persistence of national/local institutions in accounting settings, where standards are global/international (or convergent). This poses the question of how these institutions adapt to achanging environment and what factors shape their structure. We provide updated information on 17National Accounting Standard Setters (NASS) from 15 EU countries plus Australia and USA. The resultsreveal the four most relevant dimensions of each NASS (nature, organization, financing, and transparency)and identify two main models of NASS (public and private). The paper also discusses potential applications of this data, mainly to examine whether (and how) certain institutional factors could enhance the qualityof financial reporting. |
