Background of the Study
Nigeria’s mining sector, rich in natural resources such as gold, coal, and tin, has the potential to significantly contribute to the national economy. However, financial transparency has been a persistent issue, hindering investment and growth. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) provides an opportunity to standardize financial reporting and enhance transparency in the sector. This study examines the impact of IFRS adoption on financial transparency in Nigeria’s mining industry, evaluating how the standards can improve financial reporting practices and investor confidence.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the wealth of natural resources in Nigeria, the mining sector has struggled with issues related to financial opacity, inefficiency, and lack of investor trust. The role of IFRS adoption in enhancing financial transparency within the sector remains under-researched. This study will address this gap by exploring the effect of IFRS on financial transparency in the Nigerian mining industry.
