Background of the Study
Stock price volatility reflects the degree of variation in stock prices over a period, influencing investment decisions and market stability. IFRS adoption introduces standardized financial reporting, which can affect investor behavior and market dynamics. In Nigeria, understanding the impact of IFRS on stock price volatility is critical for assessing its influence on market efficiency and stability.
Statement of the Problem
While IFRS adoption is expected to enhance transparency and reduce information asymmetry, its effect on stock price volatility is uncertain. Factors such as market reactions to financial disclosures, the quality of implementation, and external economic conditions may mediate this relationship. This study examines how IFRS adoption influences stock price volatility in Nigeria.
