Background of the Study
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been adopted globally to enhance transparency, comparability, and reliability in financial reporting. In Nigeria, IFRS adoption has been mandatory for listed companies since 2012, with expectations of improving corporate governance and financial performance. Corporate profitability is a key indicator of a firm's financial health, and the transition to IFRS may have significant implications for how profitability is reported and analyzed.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the expected benefits of IFRS adoption, the direct impact on corporate profitability remains unclear. Nigerian firms face challenges such as compliance costs, changes in financial reporting requirements, and discrepancies between local accounting practices and IFRS. This study seeks to explore how IFRS adoption affects corporate profitability in Nigeria and identify factors influencing this relationship.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:

Objectives:
To assess changes in profitability metrics before and after IFRS adoption in Nigerian firms.
To identify specific IFRS standards that influence profitability reporting.
To analyze the challenges faced by Nigerian firms in achieving profitability under IFRS.
Research Questions
What changes have occurred in profitability metrics following IFRS adoption in Nigerian firms?
Which IFRS standards have the most significant impact on profitability reporting?
What challenges do Nigerian firms face in maintaining profitability under IFRS?
Research Hypotheses
