Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria has increased the demand for accurate, transparent, and efficient financial reporting. Accounting software has emerged as a critical tool in achieving IFRS compliance, offering automated solutions for financial data management, reporting, and analysis. These tools simplify the complex requirements of IFRS, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
However, the adoption of accounting software in Nigeria faces challenges, including high costs, lack of technical expertise, and resistance to technological change. While large organizations often benefit from advanced accounting systems, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) struggle to leverage these tools due to resource constraints. This study explores the role of accounting software in ensuring IFRS compliance in Nigeria, identifying its benefits, challenges, and potential for widespread adoption.
