Background of the Study
Cross-border mergers and acquisitions are key drivers of global economic integration, offering opportunities for market expansion and operational synergies. IFRS compliance provides a standardized financial reporting framework, which is critical for evaluating the financial health of potential merger targets. For Nigeria, ensuring compliance with IFRS can enhance the attractiveness of domestic firms in cross-border merger negotiations.

Issues such as inconsistent compliance, cultural differences, and macroeconomic instability may undermine the potential benefits of IFRS in facilitating cross-border transactions. This study examines the relationship between IFRS compliance and cross-border mergers in Nigeria.
