Given the rise in the amount of international accounting research, the causes of international differences in financial reporting, their level of influence, the classification and measurement of convergence, and considering the role of the convergence of accounting standards itself, this study identified the main topics focused on scientific production related to financial reporting in major international journals between 2000 and 2009. The survey used the qualitative method and has an exploratory and documentary nature. In order to do this survey, we used the following databases CAPES.periódicos, Factiva.com and JSTOR. The analysis is based on a total of 75 scientific papers, grouped into different themes: measurement of convergence; international differences and financial reporting implications; classification; impacts of the adoption of IAS / IFRS; country studies; the process of adopting IFRS and the current situation; and international accounting research. The main theme identified was “international differences and financial reporting implications”, 42.67% of the total articles. The “measurement of convergence” (13.33%) and the “impacts of the adoption of IAS / IFRS” (13.33%) also stood out, whereas the other themes did not vary significantly. The increase of the theme “country studies” in recent years may be related to the recent interest of the academic community in evaluating the effectiveness of the convergence process. The highest concentration of articles in the years 2006 and 2007 may be related to the rise of databases resulting from the mandatory adoption of IFRS by the European Union in 2005. It is shown that there may be gaps in the literature and research opportunities.
