Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) represents a major shift in accounting practices, and it often requires significant changes in the internal control systems of corporations. Nigerian corporations, particularly listed companies, are now required to adopt IFRS, and this transition can affect how internal controls are designed and implemented. This study aims to explore the effect of IFRS adoption on the internal control systems within Nigerian corporations.
Statement of the Problem
As Nigerian companies adopt IFRS, there is a need to evaluate the impact of IFRS on their internal control systems. While IFRS aims to improve financial transparency and reporting, it may also create challenges that necessitate adjustments to internal controls. This study seeks to understand whether the adoption of IFRS strengthens or weakens the internal control systems in Nigerian corporations and what the consequences of these changes are.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To examine the effect of IFRS adoption on the internal control systems of Nigerian corporations.
Objectives:
To assess how IFRS adoption has influenced the design and effectiveness of internal control systems in Nigerian companies.
To analyze the challenges faced by Nigerian corporations in adjusting their internal control systems to comply with IFRS.
To evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of IFRS adoption in relation to internal controls within Nigerian corporations.
Research Questions
How has IFRS adoption affected the internal control systems in Nigerian corporations?
What challenges do Nigerian corporations face in adapting their internal control systems to IFRS requirements?
Has the adoption of IFRS led to more effective internal controls within Nigerian corporations?
Research Hypotheses
IFRS adoption has had a significant effect on the internal control systems of Nigerian corporations.
Nigerian corporations face challenges in adjusting their internal controls to meet IFRS requirements.
The adoption of IFRS has resulted in stronger internal control systems in Nigerian corporations.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the relationship between IFRS adoption and internal control systems in Nigerian corporations. The findings will be important for corporate managers, auditors, and regulators in understanding how IFRS adoption affects internal controls and in identifying potential improvements to internal control frameworks.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian companies that have adopted IFRS. Limitations may include the difficulty in measuring the direct impact of IFRS adoption on internal control systems due to other influencing factors, such as organizational culture and resources.
