Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to evaluate various aspects of accounting quality in a fair value accounting context. The study was conducted in India, with India having recently adopted Ind-AS aligned with IFRS. A triangulation approach was adopted for the study. The data was collected through a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews during the period from August 2018 to March 2019. In total, 131 completed responses were analysed and the interviews with 15 experts were conducted. The results reveal that the value relevance constitutes the driving force propelling this paradigm shift. The effect of fair value accounting on accounting quality depends on managerial intentions. The results strongly emphasise the utility of various components of the annual report, in particular, the auditor's report, in evaluating accounting quality in the new environment. The study will provide invaluable feedback on new accounting standards to the accounting regulators and users of accounting information.
