Background of the Study
The global business environment has witnessed significant advancements in technology, including the rise of digital accounting systems. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria has led to changes in how financial information is processed, reported, and audited. The alignment of digital accounting practices with IFRS is increasingly vital for ensuring compliance and enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and transparency of financial reporting. Digital tools, such as cloud-based accounting systems and automated data analytics, are becoming integral in facilitating IFRS compliance. Understanding how IFRS adoption influences the development and implementation of these digital accounting practices in Nigeria is essential for improving financial reporting quality and enhancing transparency.
Statement of the Problem
The implementation of IFRS in Nigeria necessitates the use of more sophisticated accounting technologies. While the private sector is generally more inclined to adopt digital accounting tools, the extent to which IFRS adoption influences the integration of these technologies is not fully understood. This study aims to explore the effect of IFRS adoption on the transformation of accounting practices, particularly the shift towards digital accounting systems in Nigeria.

Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into how IFRS adoption is driving the digital transformation of accounting practices in Nigeria. It will be useful for firms, regulatory bodies, and technology providers in understanding how digital accounting can facilitate IFRS compliance and improve financial reporting efficiency.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on companies that have adopted IFRS in Nigeria, with a particular emphasis on the use of digital accounting practices. Limitations may include challenges in obtaining data from firms using varying types of accounting technologies, as well as differences in the rate of IFRS adoption across sectors.
