Background of the Study
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have revolutionized financial reporting by providing a globally consistent framework for financial statements. As Nigeria adopts IFRS, the need for comprehensive training of accountants, auditors, and financial professionals has become increasingly essential. A key aspect of this training is its potential impact on audit quality. High-quality audits are critical for ensuring the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of financial statements, and they are necessary for maintaining investor confidence and market integrity.
In Nigeria, the introduction of IFRS has brought challenges related to the training of auditors and accountants who need to understand and apply these standards effectively. The quality of audits in Nigerian firms could be significantly influenced by the level and scope of IFRS training provided to auditors. Auditors who are well-trained in IFRS are more likely to identify financial misstatements, ensure adherence to accounting standards, and produce high-quality audit reports.
This study aims to examine the relationship between IFRS training and audit quality in Nigeria, assessing how effective training programs impact the overall quality of audits conducted in Nigerian firms.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing adoption of IFRS in Nigeria, concerns remain about the quality of audits and the competence of auditors in applying these standards. While IFRS training programs have been implemented, it is unclear whether the current level of training is sufficient to significantly enhance audit quality. This study seeks to evaluate how IFRS training influences audit quality in Nigeria.
