Background of the Study

The entertainment industry in Nigeria, encompassing sectors such as music, film, and television, has experienced rapid growth in recent years. However, despite its economic significance, financial reporting in the industry has been criticized for a lack of transparency and consistency. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) provides an opportunity for Nigerian entertainment companies to improve the quality, transparency, and comparability of their financial statements. This study examines the effect of IFRS on financial reporting practices in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, focusing on whether the adoption of IFRS enhances the credibility of financial information and its impact on investment decisions.

Statement of the Problem

While the entertainment industry in Nigeria plays a significant role in the country’s economy, the lack of standardized financial reporting practices has led to issues such as limited access to capital and difficulty in attracting foreign investments. The study will address the gap in research on the influence of IFRS adoption on financial reporting quality within the Nigerian entertainment industry, providing a clearer understanding of its impact on transparency and accountability.
