Accounting systems and financial reporting must comply with new law requirements generating a ‘corporate impact’. Object of this paper is to examine this corporate impact. Particularly, analyzing four Italian cases of listed companies, authors investigate the International Accounting Standard-International Financial Reporting Standard (IAS/IFRS) adoption effect on the information process and tools, and on accounting integration and procedures. The analysis shows that corporations use different approaches to implement law requirements; authors develop a model to identify determinates that drives to these different approaches.
