Background of the Study
Green accounting is a framework that incorporates environmental and social costs into traditional accounting systems. As concerns about climate change and environmental degradation intensify, green accounting has gained prominence globally. IFRS adoption provides a foundation for standardized reporting, which is critical for the successful implementation of green accounting practices. In Nigeria, green accounting remains underdeveloped, and IFRS may play a pivotal role in its promotion.

Despite the adoption of IFRS, the integration of green accounting practices in Nigeria remains limited. Challenges such as a lack of awareness, insufficient regulatory enforcement, and inadequate training hinder progress. This study explores the role of IFRS in advancing green accounting practices in Nigeria.
