Background of the Study
Nigeria’s mining sector is rich in natural resources, including oil, gas, and various minerals, contributing significantly to the nation’s GDP. However, the sector has been plagued by concerns related to financial transparency, mismanagement, and corruption. The implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is expected to improve financial transparency in the sector by providing standardized and more accurate financial reporting. By adopting IFRS, mining companies can ensure that their financial statements are consistent, comprehensive, and reflective of their true financial position.
This study investigates the role of IFRS in enhancing financial transparency within Nigeria’s mining sector, focusing on how the adoption of these standards improves stakeholder confidence and promotes better governance and resource management.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the abundance of natural resources, Nigeria’s mining sector has struggled with issues of financial opacity and governance. The adoption of IFRS is seen as a potential solution to these challenges, but empirical evidence on the impact of IFRS on financial transparency in the mining sector is scarce. This study will explore how IFRS adoption has contributed to improved transparency in financial reporting and resource management within the sector.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of IFRS in enhancing financial transparency in Nigeria’s mining sector. The specific objectives are:
-
To assess the level of IFRS adoption among mining companies in Nigeria.

-
To explore the relationship between IFRS compliance and governance practices in Nigeria’s mining sector.
Research Questions
-

There is a positive relationship between IFRS compliance and better resource management in Nigeria’s mining sector.
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to understanding the role of IFRS in improving financial transparency in Nigeria’s mining sector. The findings will be valuable to policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders in promoting transparency, better governance, and improved management of natural resources in the sector.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
