Background of the Study
Financial risk management is critical for the stability of the banking sector, particularly in an economy like Nigeria’s, which faces significant volatility due to political, economic, and market fluctuations. International Accounting Standards (IAS) and later IFRS have set out guidelines for how financial risks should be reported by banks. These standards require banks to disclose not only the nature of their financial risks but also how they manage those risks. For Nigerian banks, the adoption of IFRS has led to more comprehensive financial risk reporting, especially in areas such as credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, and operational risk. This study aims to examine the effect of international accounting standards on financial risk reporting in Nigerian banks, focusing on the extent to which IFRS adoption has improved the transparency and quality of risk disclosures.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the adoption of IFRS, concerns remain regarding the quality of financial risk reporting by Nigerian banks. While the standards require comprehensive risk disclosures, there is a gap in understanding how well these disclosures reflect the actual risk exposure of the banks. There is also limited empirical research on how the adoption of IFRS has affected the quality of financial risk reporting in the Nigerian banking sector.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To assess the impact of international accounting standards on financial risk reporting in Nigerian banks.
Objectives:
To evaluate the extent to which IFRS adoption has improved the quality of financial risk reporting in Nigerian banks.
To assess the impact of IFRS on the transparency of financial risk disclosures in Nigerian banks.
To examine the role of IFRS in enhancing risk management practices in Nigerian banks.
Research Questions
How has the adoption of IFRS impacted the quality of financial risk reporting in Nigerian banks?
To what extent has IFRS improved the transparency of financial risk disclosures in Nigerian banks?
What role does IFRS play in enhancing risk management practices in Nigerian banks?
Research Hypotheses
IFRS adoption has significantly improved the quality of financial risk reporting in Nigerian banks.
IFRS adoption has led to more transparent financial risk disclosures in Nigerian banks.
IFRS adoption has enhanced the risk management practices of Nigerian banks.
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the understanding of how IFRS adoption influences financial risk reporting in Nigerian banks, providing valuable insights for both banks and regulators. It will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of financial risk disclosures under IFRS, helping banks improve their reporting practices and enhancing the effectiveness of risk management.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian banks that have adopted IFRS. Limitations include the challenge of accessing detailed risk management data from banks and the variations in implementation practices across different institutions.
