Background of the Study
The Nigerian aviation industry has witnessed significant growth in passenger numbers and airline services. However, the sector faces numerous challenges such as regulatory compliance, fluctuating fuel prices, and financial instability. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is crucial in improving financial reporting, transparency, and investor confidence within this sector. This study aims to provide a quantitative analysis of IFRS compliance within Nigeria’s aviation industry, focusing on how it impacts financial transparency, risk management, and the overall financial stability of airlines operating in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the increasing importance of IFRS adoption for transparency in financial reporting, the level of IFRS compliance in Nigeria’s aviation sector remains under-explored. There is a lack of understanding regarding how IFRS compliance affects the financial stability and reporting practices of Nigerian airlines, particularly given the industry's unique challenges. This study seeks to fill this gap by evaluating the effect of IFRS compliance on the financial performance and risk reporting practices of Nigerian airlines.

Significance of the Study
The study will provide valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders in Nigeria's aviation sector, highlighting the importance of IFRS adoption for enhancing financial transparency and stability. It will also contribute to the broader literature on IFRS compliance and its role in improving risk management practices in the aviation industry.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
