Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria was a major milestone in the country’s financial reporting evolution. IFRS adoption facilitates greater transparency, consistency, and comparability in financial reporting, aligning Nigeria with global best practices. However, the extent of IFRS adoption and its future trends are influenced by several factors, including regulatory changes, the business environment, technological advancements, and the level of preparedness within the Nigerian accounting profession.
Predictive analysis uses statistical techniques to forecast future trends based on current and historical data. In the context of IFRS adoption in Nigeria, predictive analysis can provide valuable insights into the direction of IFRS implementation, adoption rates, and the impact of evolving global accounting trends on Nigerian firms. This study aims to apply predictive analysis techniques to forecast IFRS adoption trends in Nigeria, providing insights for policymakers, regulators, and businesses on the future of IFRS adoption.
Statement of the Problem
While the adoption of IFRS in Nigeria has been a key regulatory shift, there is limited research on how the trend will continue to evolve in the coming years. Factors such as the pace of IFRS implementation, the readiness of Nigerian firms, and external global pressures need to be analyzed for better forecasting. This study aims to address this gap by predicting the future trends of IFRS adoption in Nigeria.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to use predictive analysis techniques to forecast IFRS adoption trends in Nigeria. The specific objectives are:
To analyze the historical adoption patterns of IFRS in Nigeria.
To identify the key factors influencing IFRS adoption trends in Nigeria.
To develop predictive models for forecasting future IFRS adoption trends in Nigeria.
Research Questions
