Background of the Study
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) plays a crucial role in the country’s financial regulatory environment, overseeing the banking sector and ensuring financial stability. As part of Nigeria’s transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the CBN has been actively involved in promoting and facilitating compliance with these standards, particularly among financial institutions. The adoption of IFRS is essential for enhancing transparency and accountability in financial reporting, which is critical for maintaining investor confidence and fostering financial market development.
The CBN's role in this process includes issuing guidelines, conducting training programs, and monitoring the compliance of financial institutions. The CBN also collaborates with other regulatory bodies, such as the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN), to ensure smooth IFRS adoption across the banking and financial sectors. This study will examine the role of the CBN in promoting IFRS compliance in Nigeria, evaluating its effectiveness and the challenges it faces.
Statement of the Problem

This study aims to assess the role of the CBN in promoting IFRS compliance, focusing on its efforts, successes, and challenges.
