This paper examines, through an analysis of selected incorporations made from 2006 to 2013, the possible methods of merger accounting by Italian listed local public utilities, taking into account the distinguishing features of the local public services sector. The considerable variety both of merger types and consequent accounting standards to be adopted means that corporate governance mechanisms will impact IFRS 3 implementation. The empirical results also highlight some related critical issues in terms of company disclosure and the adoption, for the most significant mergers, of accounting methods that do not seem entirely suited to represent the economic reality of the post-merger entity.
Keywords: Local public utilities, mergers, international accounting standards, corporate governance.
