Background of the Study
Financial risk reporting is a vital component of corporate governance and decision-making in the banking sector. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, measuring, and disclosing financial risks. Nigerian banks, as key players in the economy, are significantly influenced by these standards in their efforts to ensure transparency and manage risks effectively.

Issues such as data quality, regulatory alignment, and compliance costs may hinder the effectiveness of IFRS in enhancing risk transparency.
