Background of the Study
Poverty remains a critical challenge in Nigeria, with millions of citizens living below the poverty line despite the country's abundant natural resources. Over the years, various poverty reduction strategies have been implemented, including economic reforms, social programs, and financial policies. However, the effectiveness of these strategies largely depends on transparency, accountability, and efficient allocation of resources, all of which are underpinned by robust financial reporting practices.
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria was intended to enhance financial transparency and comparability, promoting investor confidence and economic stability. By improving the quality of financial reporting, IFRS has the potential to influence poverty reduction strategies indirectly through better allocation of resources, increased foreign investment, and enhanced governance.
However, the connection between IFRS adoption and poverty reduction remains underexplored. While improved financial reporting can lead to economic growth and increased resources for social programs, the extent to which IFRS has influenced poverty alleviation efforts in Nigeria is uncertain. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between IFRS and poverty reduction strategies, shedding light on its potential to address one of Nigeria's most pressing social challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Despite numerous poverty reduction strategies, Nigeria continues to grapple with widespread poverty. Although IFRS adoption promises improved financial reporting and economic stability, its impact on poverty reduction strategies is unclear. This study addresses this gap by exploring the relationship between IFRS adoption and poverty alleviation efforts in Nigeria.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To examine the relationship between IFRS adoption and poverty reduction strategies in Nigeria.
2. To assess the impact of IFRS on the effectiveness of resource allocation for poverty alleviation programs.
3. To identify challenges that hinder the integration of IFRS into poverty reduction strategies.
Research Questions
1. What is the relationship between IFRS adoption and poverty reduction strategies in Nigeria?
2. How does IFRS influence the effectiveness of resource allocation for poverty alleviation programs?
3. What challenges affect the integration of IFRS into poverty reduction strategies?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: There is no significant relationship between IFRS adoption and poverty reduction strategies in Nigeria.
2. H₀: IFRS adoption does not significantly improve the effectiveness of resource allocation for poverty alleviation programs.
3. H₀: Challenges do not significantly hinder the integration of IFRS into poverty reduction strategies.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into how IFRS adoption influences poverty reduction efforts in Nigeria. The findings will help policymakers and stakeholders align financial reporting practices with poverty alleviation goals, improving the effectiveness of social programs.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on the relationship between IFRS adoption and poverty reduction strategies in Nigeria, specifically examining its impact on resource allocation and program effectiveness. Limitations include data availability and the complexity of measuring poverty reduction outcomes.
