Background of the Study
Shareholder value is a critical measure of corporate success, reflecting the returns investors receive from their investments. The adoption of IFRS aims to improve the quality of financial information, which can enhance investor confidence and ultimately increase shareholder value. Understanding the quantitative relationship between IFRS and shareholder value in Nigerian firms is essential for assessing the success of IFRS implementation.
Statement of the Problem
While IFRS adoption is intended to enhance financial transparency and comparability, its impact on shareholder value remains debatable. Factors such as market perception, compliance costs, and changes in financial metrics may influence the extent to which IFRS adoption affects shareholder value. This study investigates the quantitative relationship between IFRS and shareholder value in Nigerian firms.
