Background of the Study
Financial technology (fintech) has revolutionized financial processes by introducing innovative solutions that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility. In Nigeria, the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has introduced complex reporting requirements, necessitating advanced tools and systems to ensure compliance. Fintech solutions, including automated accounting software, real-time analytics, and blockchain, have emerged as critical enablers of IFRS compliance.
Fintech facilitates IFRS compliance by simplifying financial data management, automating complex calculations, and ensuring accuracy in financial reporting. However, the adoption of fintech solutions in Nigeria faces challenges such as high costs, limited technical expertise, and regulatory gaps. Despite these challenges, fintech is increasingly being recognized as a game-changer in financial reporting, particularly for IFRS compliance.
This study explores the role of fintech in facilitating IFRS compliance in Nigeria, examining its contributions, challenges, and potential for driving efficiency in financial reporting.
