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.
