Abstract:	本研究探討國際財務報導準則採用後對英國上市公司財務報告揭露品質之影響，選取高科技產業公司於國際財務報導準則轉換年度、轉換年度前後兩年之年報，並根據IAS 38, Edvinsson and Malone (1997), Lev (2001), and Sveiby (1997)編纂智慧資本字典，與先前研究之差異處在於本研究採用文字探勘技術之分類演算法以探討智慧資本揭露品質是否和國際財務報導準則之採用有關，結果顯示智慧資本揭露品質和國際財務報導準則之採用有關，接著本研究運用迴歸分析，進一步了解那些智慧資本項目之揭露於採用前後有顯著差異，結果顯示在國際財務報導準則採用後，高科技公司增加智慧資本項目之揭露，符合本研究之預期，有顯著差異之智慧資本項目如:電腦軟體、顧客名單、顧客忠誠度、顧客關係和專利，研究結果也指出在國際財務報導準則採用後，高科技公司增加智慧資本項目之揭露之現象較常發生在上市時間較早之公司、總資產較大之公司。 This study investigates the impact of the quality of disclosures of financial reports of the listed companies in the U.K. with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption. I select the annual reports of companies in the high-tech industry sectors in the IFRS transition year and two years before and after the transition year. The dictionary for intellectual capital according to four sources, IAS 38, Edvinsson and Malone (1997), Lev (2001), and Sveiby (1997) is compiled. In contrast to prior studies, I use classification algorithm of text mining techniques to explore whether the quality of intellectual capital disclosures is related with the adoption of IFRS. Results show that the disclosures of intellectual capital items are related with the adoption of IFRS. To further realize which intellectual capital item disclosures are significantly different between pre-adoption and post-adoption, the regression analysis is applied. Evidence is promising, in the post-IFRS period, high-tech firms may increase the intellectual capital item disclosures, such as computer software, customer list, customer loyalty, customer relationships and patents. Evidence also indicates that, the evidence that high-tech firms may increase the intellectual capital item disclosures in the post-IFRS period is more pronounced in older and larger companies.
