Data were collected by using purposive sampling method and 327 observation data were analyzed. The hypothesis testing in this research utilized linear regression analysis with SPSS Release 20. The results of this analysis finds that the coefficient of the interaction variable between initial property, plant, and equipment (PPE) disclosure index and the application period of IFRS in first year and second year is become increasingly negative.
