Evaluate the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption on financial reporting quality in Nigeria: A case study of selected companies
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of accounting standards developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are used by companies in preparing and presenting their financial statements. Many countries around the world have adopted IFRS as their national accounting standards in order to promote transparency, comparability, and consistency in financial reporting.
Nigeria officially adopted IFRS in 2012, with the aim of aligning its financial reporting practices with international best practices and attracting foreign investment. However, the impact of IFRS adoption on the quality of financial reporting in Nigeria remains a topic of debate.
This research project aims to evaluate the impact of IFRS adoption on financial reporting quality in Nigeria, with a focus on selected companies in the country. The study will assess whether the adoption of IFRS has led to improvements in the transparency, accuracy, and reliability of financial reporting by Nigerian companies.
The research will involve a detailed literature review to examine the theoretical framework and empirical evidence on the impact of IFRS adoption on financial reporting quality. It will also involve a case study approach, where financial statements of selected companies before and after the adoption of IFRS will be analyzed to assess any changes in reporting quality.
Key factors that will be considered in the evaluation include the impact of IFRS on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses; the disclosure requirements under IFRS; the quality of financial information provided to users; and the overall transparency and comparability of financial statements.
The findings of this research project will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of IFRS adoption in Nigeria and contribute to the existing literature on the impact of international accounting standards on financial reporting quality. The results will also be relevant for policymakers, regulatory authorities, investors, and other stakeholders in assessing the benefits and challenges of adopting IFRS in emerging economies like Nigeria.
