Background of the Study
The transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria has faced several challenges, particularly among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and firms with limited resources. These challenges include inadequate training, high implementation costs, lack of regulatory enforcement, and resistance to change within organizations. Given these difficulties, this study seeks to quantitatively analyze the challenges that Nigerian firms encounter during IFRS implementation and the impact of these challenges on their financial reporting practices.
Statement of the Problem
While IFRS adoption is mandatory for listed companies in Nigeria, the implementation process has proven difficult for many firms. These challenges hinder the ability of Nigerian companies to fully comply with IFRS and can affect the quality of their financial reporting. This study aims to identify the specific challenges of IFRS implementation faced by Nigerian firms and assess their impact.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To conduct a quantitative analysis of the challenges faced by Nigerian firms in implementing IFRS.
Objectives:
To identify the major challenges encountered by Nigerian firms in adopting IFRS.
To analyze the effect of these challenges on the quality of financial reporting in Nigerian firms.
To evaluate the support systems available to Nigerian firms in overcoming IFRS implementation challenges.
Research Questions
What are the key challenges faced by Nigerian firms in adopting IFRS?
How do these challenges affect the quality of financial reporting in Nigerian firms?
What measures can Nigerian firms take to overcome the challenges of IFRS implementation?
Research Hypotheses
Nigerian firms face significant challenges in adopting IFRS, particularly in training and resources.
The challenges of IFRS implementation have a negative impact on the quality of financial reporting in Nigerian firms.
Support systems provided by regulatory bodies and accounting professionals can help mitigate the challenges of IFRS adoption.
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the understanding of the challenges Nigerian firms face in implementing IFRS. The findings will inform policymakers, regulators, and firms about the difficulties encountered during the adoption process and suggest possible solutions to improve the implementation of IFRS in Nigeria.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian firms, particularly those listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), and will not extend to private companies or SMEs. Limitations may include difficulty in collecting primary data on the specific challenges faced by firms due to the diverse nature of the challenges and industry differences.
