Background of the Study
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria are essential drivers of economic growth, contributing significantly to employment and GDP. Despite their importance, Nigerian SMEs face numerous challenges, particularly in financial reporting. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has been mandated for SMEs, but there are concerns regarding their ability to comply due to limited resources, technical knowledge, and the complexity of the standards. This study aims to quantitatively analyze the challenges SMEs face in implementing IFRS in Nigeria, focusing on the barriers that hinder full compliance and the strategies SMEs use to overcome these challenges.
Statement of the Problem
The adoption of IFRS by Nigerian SMEs is expected to improve transparency, access to capital, and international competitiveness. However, many SMEs struggle to fully implement IFRS due to various challenges such as limited financial expertise, high implementation costs, and inadequate technological infrastructure. These challenges can prevent SMEs from benefiting fully from the advantages that IFRS adoption offers. This study seeks to identify and analyze these challenges in detail.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To analyze the challenges faced by Nigerian SMEs in implementing IFRS and to propose solutions for improving their compliance.
Objectives:
To identify the key challenges faced by SMEs in Nigeria in implementing IFRS.
To evaluate the impact of these challenges on the financial performance and growth of Nigerian SMEs.
To explore possible strategies for improving IFRS compliance in SMEs.
Research Questions
What are the key challenges faced by Nigerian SMEs in implementing IFRS?
How do these challenges impact the financial performance and growth of Nigerian SMEs?
What strategies can SMEs use to overcome these challenges and improve IFRS compliance?
Research Hypotheses
The challenges faced by Nigerian SMEs in implementing IFRS significantly affect their financial performance and growth.
SMEs with better financial knowledge and resources face fewer challenges in implementing IFRS compared to those with limited resources.
Training and awareness programs improve the level of IFRS compliance in Nigerian SMEs.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the difficulties faced by Nigerian SMEs in implementing IFRS and suggest practical solutions for overcoming these barriers. The findings will be useful to policymakers, SME owners, and regulatory bodies in designing programs that facilitate smoother IFRS adoption.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on SMEs in Nigeria that are in the process of adopting IFRS. It will analyze data from selected SMEs in various sectors. A limitation of the study is the difficulty in accessing financial data from SMEs due to their private nature and the potential variation in the level of IFRS knowledge across different sectors.
