This research’s objective is to study the value relevance on accounting information under the international financial accounting standard issued during 2009 – 2019. Ohlson’s regression analysis model (1955) was used in the study. The results showed statistically significant positive correlations between the accounting information, including book value and earnings, and the security price. The 2009 – 2019 study results revealed that the book value’s relevance decreased, in contrast to that of the earnings. Additional study without the outlier 2019’s pandemic data found that the book value’s relevance was unchanged, while the earnings information was found to increase in its value relevance. The results also showed that accounting information under the new international financial reporting standard had value relevance to decisions. This observation agreed with the main qualitative property of the conceptual framework for financial Reporting. The result also showed changes in accounting information which will result in education on the accounting information to investors, and further improvements of the financial report standards in the future.
