This study examines the impact of adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on the value of economic units. Given the global push toward standardization of financial reporting to enhance financial statement transparency, comparability, and reliability, this research seeks to understand the implications of these standards for economic valuation within a region characterized by its unique economic and regulatory challenges. A questionnaire was distributed to 86 Iraqi academics specializing in economics, accounting, and finance to collect their views on the impact of adopting international financial reporting standards. Through careful statistical analysis, the study concluded that applying international financial reporting standards significantly impacts the economic unit's value. These findings contribute to the debate on the effectiveness of IFRS in emerging markets and provide valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and practitioners aiming to improve the quality of financial reporting and economic evaluation. The study emphasizes the importance of considering local economic conditions and the level of support for applying IFRS when assessing the impact of the standards on the economic unit's value. This research opens horizons for further investigation into the factors mediating the relationship between IFRS adoption and economic unit assessment, aiming to enrich information about the role of financial reporting standards in economic development.
