Background of the Study
International trade agreements play a crucial role in shaping a country’s trade relationships and economic performance. For Nigeria, participation in global trade requires adherence to international standards and agreements that promote financial transparency and regulatory alignment. One of the key standards is the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which ensures consistency and comparability in financial reporting across borders.
Nigeria, as a member of various international trade agreements such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), is expected to adopt and comply with internationally recognized financial reporting standards. The alignment of Nigerian companies with IFRS could improve the country's standing in international trade agreements by meeting transparency requirements and reducing barriers to cross-border trade. This study analyzes the relationship between IFRS compliance and Nigeria's participation in international trade agreements, focusing on the extent to which IFRS facilitates Nigeria’s adherence to these agreements.
Statement of the Problem
Despite Nigeria’s commitment to international trade agreements, the alignment between IFRS compliance and the country’s success in these agreements has not been extensively studied. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining the impact of IFRS compliance on Nigeria’s ability to fully benefit from international trade agreements.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To analyze the relationship between IFRS compliance and Nigeria’s participation in international trade agreements.
2. To assess how IFRS compliance enhances Nigeria’s ability to meet the transparency requirements of trade agreements.
3. To identify the challenges Nigeria faces in aligning IFRS with its international trade obligations.
Research Questions
1. How does IFRS compliance affect Nigeria’s participation in international trade agreements?
2. What role does IFRS play in helping Nigeria meet the transparency requirements of international trade agreements?
3. What challenges does Nigeria face in aligning IFRS with its international trade agreements?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: There is no significant relationship between IFRS compliance and Nigeria’s participation in international trade agreements.
2. H₀: IFRS compliance does not significantly enhance Nigeria’s ability to meet the transparency requirements of international trade agreements.
3. H₀: Challenges in aligning IFRS with international trade agreements do not significantly hinder Nigeria’s trade relationships.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the role of IFRS compliance in improving Nigeria’s engagement in international trade agreements, highlighting how alignment with global standards enhances trade relations and economic performance.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on Nigerian firms' compliance with IFRS and its impact on the country’s participation in international trade agreements. Limitations include the complexity of measuring the direct impact of IFRS on trade outcomes and the availability of data on Nigeria's international trade activities.
