Background of the Study
In the globalized economy, export competitiveness is vital for a country’s economic growth. For Nigerian firms to compete on the international stage, they must adhere to globally recognized standards of financial reporting, which enhances transparency, trust, and comparability. The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) provide a unified framework for financial reporting, offering a consistent and transparent approach that is increasingly demanded by international investors, trading partners, and stakeholders.
Nigeria's export sector, particularly in industries such as oil and gas, agriculture, and manufacturing, has faced challenges in attracting foreign investment and ensuring market access due to concerns about financial transparency and reliability. As more Nigerian firms adopt IFRS, they position themselves as credible players in international markets. This study examines how IFRS adoption can enhance the export competitiveness of Nigerian firms, focusing on its role in improving financial transparency, reducing investment risks, and meeting the requirements of international trade partners.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of IFRS adoption, many Nigerian firms still face barriers in achieving full compliance with IFRS, which can affect their competitiveness in global markets. This study seeks to address the gap in understanding how IFRS adoption specifically impacts Nigeria’s export competitiveness.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To explore the relationship between IFRS adoption and export competitiveness in Nigeria.
2. To assess the impact of IFRS on financial transparency and its role in attracting foreign trade partners.
3. To identify challenges faced by Nigerian firms in adopting IFRS for export competitiveness.
Research Questions
1. How does IFRS adoption influence the export competitiveness of Nigerian firms?
2. What role does IFRS play in enhancing financial transparency for Nigerian exporters?
3. What are the challenges Nigerian firms face in adopting IFRS for export purposes?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: IFRS adoption does not significantly influence the export competitiveness of Nigerian firms.
2. H₀: IFRS adoption does not significantly enhance financial transparency in Nigerian export businesses.
3. H₀: Challenges in IFRS adoption do not significantly affect the export competitiveness of Nigerian firms.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into how IFRS adoption can enhance the global competitiveness of Nigerian firms, promoting financial transparency and improving their market position internationally.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on Nigerian export-oriented firms and evaluates how IFRS adoption impacts their competitiveness in global markets. Limitations include the varied adoption rates across different industries and the challenges of measuring the direct impact of IFRS on export performance.
