Background of the Study
Investment decision-making is influenced by a variety of factors, including the quality and transparency of financial information provided by firms. IFRS adoption in Nigeria has been designed to improve the reliability and comparability of financial statements, thereby aiding investors in making more informed investment decisions. For foreign investors, the adoption of IFRS means they can better assess the financial health and potential risks associated with Nigerian firms. The study aims to explore the effect of IFRS adoption on investment decision-making among foreign investors, focusing on how these standards influence their perceptions of Nigerian firms as investment opportunities.
Statement of the Problem
The adoption of IFRS in Nigeria was intended to enhance the transparency of financial reporting and increase the attractiveness of Nigerian firms to foreign investors. However, it is unclear whether IFRS compliance has led to a significant shift in foreign investors' decision-making processes. While IFRS adoption is expected to improve transparency, the actual effect on foreign investment decisions in Nigeria has not been empirically established. This study seeks to investigate how IFRS adoption influences investment decisions made by foreign investors in Nigeria.
