Background of the Study
The sports sector in Nigeria is a growing industry with significant economic and social impact. However, the sector has faced challenges related to financial mismanagement, lack of transparency, and accountability. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) offer an opportunity for enhancing financial accountability by improving the quality, transparency, and comparability of financial statements. This study will explore the role of IFRS in enhancing financial accountability within the Nigerian sports sector, assessing whether the adoption of these standards leads to better financial practices and governance.
Statement of the Problem
While the Nigerian sports sector has experienced growth, financial accountability remains a significant issue, with instances of mismanagement and corruption undermining its potential. The role of IFRS in enhancing financial accountability within the sector has not been sufficiently explored. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the effect of IFRS adoption on financial practices and governance in Nigerian sports organizations.
