Background of the Study
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a blueprint for global sustainability, emphasizing issues such as poverty reduction, climate action, and economic growth. Corporate reporting aligned with SDGs is critical for tracking progress and ensuring accountability. IFRS adoption offers a standardized framework for financial reporting that can integrate SDG-related disclosures. This study examines how IFRS compliance influences SDG reporting in Nigerian firms.
Statement of the Problem

Challenges such as inconsistent reporting standards, limited awareness, and inadequate regulatory enforcement impede progress. This study investigates the role of IFRS in improving SDG-related disclosures in Nigeria.
