Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has had a significant impact on accounting practices worldwide. In Nigeria, IFRS has transformed the way accounting professionals prepare financial statements and report on the financial health of businesses. As the country’s accounting standards evolve, Nigerian universities must adapt their accounting curricula to incorporate IFRS principles, ensuring that graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a global business environment.
The integration of IFRS into university accounting programs presents challenges, including the need for faculty training, curriculum redesign, and resource allocation. However, it also presents opportunities to enhance the quality of accounting education in Nigeria by aligning it with international standards. This study examines the impact of IFRS on the accounting curriculum in Nigerian universities, focusing on the extent to which IFRS has been integrated into academic programs and its influence on the preparation of future accountants.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing importance of IFRS in Nigeria, there is limited research on its impact on the accounting curriculum in universities. Accounting programs may struggle to adequately integrate IFRS principles, leaving graduates ill-prepared for the demands of modern accounting practices. This study aims to explore the extent to which IFRS adoption has influenced the accounting curriculum in Nigerian universities and its implications for accounting education.
