An analysis of financial reporting quality in Nigerian listed companies: A case study of selected firms in the banking sector

Financial reporting quality is of critical importance in the evaluation of a company’s performance and transparency. In the Nigerian context, where the banking sector plays a pivotal role in the economy, the quality of financial reporting becomes even more significant.

This thesis aims to examine the financial reporting quality of selected firms in the Nigerian banking sector. By focusing on key metrics such as transparency, accuracy, and adherence to accounting standards, the study seeks to identify patterns and trends in the financial reporting practices of these companies.

Research Objectives:

Assess the transparency of financial reporting practices in Nigerian listed banks.
Evaluate the accuracy of financial statements in the selected banking firms.
Examine the adherence of these companies to international accounting standards.
Compare the financial reporting quality across different banks in the Nigerian sector.

Methodology:

The research will adopt a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis of financial data with qualitative assessment of reporting practices. The study will analyze financial statements, annual reports, and disclosures of selected banks over a period of five years.

Key financial ratios such as profitability, liquidity, and leverage will be calculated to gauge the financial performance of the banks. In addition, content analysis will be used to assess the quality and transparency of the financial reports.

Expected Outcomes:

Identification of common trends and challenges in financial reporting practices among Nigerian banks.
Determination of the factors influencing the quality of financial reporting in the banking sector.
Recommendations for improving financial reporting standards and practices in Nigerian listed companies.

Overall, this thesis seeks to contribute to the existing literature on financial reporting quality in emerging markets, particularly in the context of the Nigerian banking sector. By shedding light on the strengths and weaknesses of current practices, the study aims to provide valuable insights for regulators, investors, and stakeholders in the Nigerian financial market.
