Background of the Study
External auditors play a critical role in ensuring that companies adhere to relevant accounting standards, including the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As Nigeria transitions to IFRS, the role of external auditors in promoting and verifying compliance becomes increasingly vital. This study examines how external auditors contribute to ensuring that Nigerian companies comply with IFRS requirements and the challenges they face in the process.

While the adoption of IFRS has been mandated for Nigerian companies, there are concerns about the effectiveness of external auditors in ensuring full compliance. Some firms may struggle with implementing IFRS properly, leading to discrepancies in financial reporting. This study seeks to investigate the specific role of external auditors in ensuring that Nigerian companies adhere to IFRS and the effectiveness of their efforts in this regard.
