Background of the Study
The sports sector in Nigeria has grown significantly over the years, with increased investments in infrastructure, sponsorships, and athlete development. However, financial accountability remains a challenge, particularly in ensuring that financial information is accurate, transparent, and trustworthy. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is one of the ways in which organizations can improve their financial reporting and governance structures. In the sports sector, where public and private funds are often invested, implementing IFRS is essential for ensuring that funds are used efficiently and effectively.
This study explores the role of IFRS in enhancing financial accountability within the Nigerian sports sector, focusing on how the adoption of these standards influences financial reporting, internal control practices, and overall accountability.
Statement of the Problem
While there have been efforts to improve financial accountability within Nigeria’s sports sector, the lack of standardized and transparent financial reporting practices remains a key concern. The adoption of IFRS is expected to improve these practices, but there is limited research on the effectiveness of IFRS in enhancing financial accountability in the sports industry. This study will assess the role of IFRS in improving transparency, accountability, and financial governance in the Nigerian sports sector.
