Background of the Study
Audit delays are a significant concern for companies and investors, as they can impact the timely release of financial information and reduce confidence in the accuracy of financial reporting. The implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is expected to affect the timing of audits, as companies may require more time to adjust to the new standards. This study seeks to examine how the implementation of IFRS has influenced audit delays in Nigerian companies.
Statement of the Problem
The adoption of IFRS often requires substantial changes to financial reporting and accounting processes, which may lead to delays in the preparation and auditing of financial statements. Nigerian companies, particularly those that have only recently adopted IFRS, may face challenges that result in audit delays. This study aims to investigate the extent to which IFRS implementation has contributed to audit delays in Nigerian companies and whether it has had any impact on audit efficiency.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To analyze the effect of IFRS implementation on audit delays in Nigerian companies.
Objectives:
To assess whether the implementation of IFRS has increased audit delays in Nigerian companies.
To identify the factors contributing to audit delays in Nigerian firms post-IFRS adoption.
To evaluate the relationship between IFRS implementation and the timeliness of financial statement audits in Nigerian companies.
Research Questions
Has the implementation of IFRS led to an increase in audit delays for Nigerian companies?
What factors contribute to audit delays in Nigerian companies adopting IFRS?
How does IFRS implementation impact the overall timeliness of financial statement audits in Nigeria?
Research Hypotheses
The implementation of IFRS has led to an increase in audit delays in Nigerian companies.
Factors such as complexity, training, and system changes contribute significantly to audit delays after IFRS adoption.
The adoption of IFRS has a negative impact on the timeliness of audits in Nigerian companies.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the impact of IFRS adoption on audit delays in Nigeria. The findings will be valuable to corporate managers, auditors, and regulators in identifying ways to improve the efficiency of audits and minimize delays during the IFRS implementation process.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian companies that have adopted IFRS and examine their audit timelines. Limitations may include the difficulty in isolating IFRS adoption as the sole cause of audit delays, as other factors may also contribute to delays.
