Background of the Study
The manufacturing and service sectors are two critical pillars of Nigeria’s economy, contributing significantly to employment, GDP, and national development. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) was expected to standardize financial reporting across these sectors, enhancing transparency and investor confidence. However, the level of IFRS adoption and compliance varies between these sectors due to differences in operational complexities, regulatory frameworks, and financial reporting needs.
The manufacturing sector often faces challenges such as high operational costs, complex inventories, and limited access to financial expertise, which may hinder IFRS adoption. Conversely, the service sector, characterized by intangible assets and client-focused operations, may experience unique challenges related to revenue recognition and cost allocation. This study compares IFRS adoption in Nigeria’s manufacturing and service sectors, exploring sector-specific challenges and opportunities.
Statement of the Problem
Although IFRS adoption aims to unify financial reporting practices, the manufacturing and service sectors face distinct challenges and opportunities in compliance. These differences may affect the overall effectiveness of IFRS adoption in Nigeria. This study addresses the lack of comparative analysis between these key sectors.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To compare the level of IFRS adoption in Nigeria’s manufacturing and service sectors.
2. To identify sector-specific challenges and opportunities in IFRS compliance.
3. To assess the impact of IFRS adoption on financial reporting quality in both sectors.
Research Questions
1. How does IFRS adoption differ between Nigeria’s manufacturing and service sectors?
2. What are the sector-specific challenges and opportunities in IFRS compliance?
3. How does IFRS adoption impact financial reporting quality in both sectors?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: IFRS adoption does not significantly differ between the manufacturing and service sectors.
2. H₀: Sector-specific challenges do not significantly affect IFRS compliance levels.
3. H₀: IFRS adoption does not significantly impact financial reporting quality in either sector.
Significance of the Study
This study highlights the differences in IFRS adoption between Nigeria’s manufacturing and service sectors, offering insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and regulatory bodies to address sector-specific challenges and improve compliance.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on Nigeria’s manufacturing and service sectors, comparing IFRS adoption levels and challenges. Limitations include the generalization of findings across diverse industries within these sectors.
Definition of Terms
• Manufacturing Sector: Industries involved in the production of goods using raw materials and machinery.
• Service Sector: Industries focused on providing intangible products such as services.
