Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by Nigerian companies has been a significant development in the financial reporting landscape, primarily aimed at improving the comparability, transparency, and reliability of financial statements. IFRS has the potential to enhance the quality of financial reporting by providing a uniform framework for accounting and disclosures. However, the direct impact of IFRS compliance on the financial performance of companies, particularly those listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), is still a topic of ongoing debate. Some argue that IFRS adoption improves the financial performance of firms by attracting foreign investments due to greater transparency, while others believe the transition may incur costs that could initially affect profitability. This study aims to explore the relationship between IFRS compliance and the financial performance of listed Nigerian companies.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the benefits that IFRS compliance is expected to bring, its impact on the financial performance of companies in Nigeria is not well understood. While IFRS is presumed to lead to improved financial transparency and comparability, it is unclear whether this has translated into improved profitability, revenue growth, or cost management for Nigerian firms. This study seeks to investigate whether the adoption of IFRS has had a measurable effect on the financial performance of these companies.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To assess the relationship between IFRS compliance and the financial performance of listed Nigerian companies.
Objectives:
To examine the effect of IFRS compliance on the profitability of listed Nigerian companies.
To evaluate how IFRS adoption has influenced the financial transparency and decision-making of listed Nigerian companies.
To investigate whether IFRS compliance has led to improved financial performance in terms of revenue growth and cost management.
Research Questions
How does IFRS compliance affect the profitability of listed Nigerian companies?
What impact has IFRS adoption had on the financial transparency of listed Nigerian companies?
Has IFRS compliance contributed to improved revenue growth and cost management in listed Nigerian companies?
Research Hypotheses
IFRS compliance has a positive impact on the profitability of listed Nigerian companies.
IFRS adoption improves the financial transparency and decision-making of listed Nigerian companies.
IFRS compliance leads to improved revenue growth and cost management in listed Nigerian companies.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the benefits of IFRS compliance for listed Nigerian companies, particularly in terms of their financial performance. The findings can guide policymakers, regulators, and corporate managers in making informed decisions about the advantages and challenges of IFRS adoption.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on listed companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and will analyze their financial performance before and after the adoption of IFRS. Limitations include potential biases in company reporting, data availability, and the complexity of isolating the impact of IFRS from other influencing factors.
