Background of the Study
The pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria plays a vital role in public health and economic development. However, the industry has faced challenges related to financial transparency, regulatory compliance, and access to international capital markets. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) presents an opportunity for Nigerian pharmaceutical companies to standardize their financial reporting, improve transparency, and attract both local and international investors. This study aims to provide a quantitative analysis of IFRS adoption in Nigeria’s pharmaceutical industry, assessing its impact on financial reporting practices and corporate governance.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of IFRS adoption, the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria has been slow to embrace these standards, which may affect the sector's financial transparency and its ability to compete on a global scale. This study seeks to explore the extent of IFRS adoption in Nigerian pharmaceutical companies and evaluate its impact on the quality of financial reporting and corporate governance within the industry.
