Background of the Study

The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria aimed to unify financial reporting practices across sectors and regions, enhancing transparency, accountability, and comparability. However, the implementation of IFRS varies significantly across the country's diverse regions, driven by factors such as economic development, infrastructure, regulatory enforcement, and access to professional expertise. For instance, more economically developed regions, such as Lagos and Abuja, have shown higher compliance levels compared to less developed areas.

These regional disparities create challenges in achieving the overall goals of IFRS adoption in Nigeria. While previous studies have examined sectoral compliance, the geographic dimension of IFRS implementation remains underexplored. This study employs a quantitative approach to analyze the extent of IFRS implementation across Nigerian regions, identifying factors contributing to regional differences and their implications for financial reporting quality.

Statement of the Problem

Despite a nationwide mandate for IFRS adoption, significant disparities exist in implementation across Nigeria's regions. These differences hinder the uniformity and comparability of financial reporting, affecting the overall success of IFRS adoption. This study addresses the lack of empirical data on regional variations in IFRS implementation in Nigeria.

Aim and Objectives of the Study

1. To analyze the level of IFRS implementation across Nigerian regions.

2. To identify factors influencing regional disparities in IFRS compliance.

3. To evaluate the impact of regional disparities on financial reporting quality.

Research Questions

1. What is the level of IFRS implementation across Nigerian regions?

2. What factors contribute to regional disparities in IFRS compliance?

3. How do regional disparities affect financial reporting quality?

Research Hypotheses

1. H₀: There are no significant regional differences in IFRS implementation in Nigeria.

2. H₀: Regional disparities do not significantly influence IFRS compliance levels.

3. H₀: Regional differences do not significantly affect financial reporting quality.

Significance of the Study

This study provides valuable insights into the geographic dimension of IFRS implementation in Nigeria, highlighting areas that require targeted interventions. Policymakers, regulators, and professional bodies will benefit from recommendations to enhance compliance across all regions.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study focuses on IFRS implementation across Nigeria's regions, examining compliance levels, contributing factors, and their impact on reporting quality. Limitations include the availability of reliable data from less developed regions.

Definition of Terms

• IFRS Implementation: The adoption and application of International Financial Reporting Standards.

• Regional Disparities: Differences in economic, social, and regulatory conditions across geographic areas.

• Financial Reporting Quality: The accuracy, transparency, and reliability of financial statements.
