Background of the Study
Trade financing plays a crucial role in facilitating international trade by providing the necessary financial products and services that reduce the risks associated with cross-border transactions. In Nigeria, the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has introduced a new era of financial transparency and credibility. For Nigerian firms involved in international trade, IFRS compliance enhances their ability to secure trade financing from both local and international financial institutions. This study will explore how IFRS adoption impacts trade financing in Nigeria, particularly how it affects the ability of Nigerian firms to access credit and other trade financing options.
Statement of the Problem
Although IFRS adoption is recognized as a significant improvement in financial reporting, its direct impact on trade financing in Nigeria is under-researched. Nigerian exporters often face challenges in accessing financing due to perceived financial risks, and this study aims to explore whether IFRS compliance can improve access to trade financing for Nigerian firms.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To explore the impact of IFRS adoption on trade financing in Nigeria.
Objectives:
To assess how IFRS compliance influences the ability of Nigerian firms to secure trade financing.
To evaluate the relationship between IFRS adoption and the availability of financial products for Nigerian exporters.
To identify the barriers Nigerian firms face in accessing trade financing despite IFRS adoption.
Research Questions
How does IFRS compliance influence the ability of Nigerian firms to secure trade financing?
What is the relationship between IFRS adoption and the availability of trade financing options for Nigerian exporters?
What barriers do Nigerian firms face in accessing trade financing despite IFRS adoption?
Research Hypotheses
IFRS compliance improves the ability of Nigerian firms to secure trade financing.
There is a positive relationship between IFRS adoption and the availability of trade financing options for Nigerian exporters.
Despite IFRS adoption, Nigerian firms still face significant barriers in accessing trade financing.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide critical insights into how IFRS compliance affects trade financing in Nigeria. The findings will help financial institutions, policymakers, and Nigerian exporters better understand the role of IFRS in improving access to trade financing.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian firms involved in international trade and their ability to access trade financing post-IFRS adoption. Limitations may include the availability of data from financial institutions and firms in specific industries.
