Background of the Study
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been adopted globally to provide a standardized framework for preparing financial statements that ensures transparency, accountability, and comparability. Since Nigeria's mandatory adoption of IFRS for public interest entities in 2012, the standard has played a critical role in reshaping the financial reporting landscape in the country.
As IFRS continues to evolve, it is anticipated to have a lasting impact on the future of financial reporting practices in Nigeria. This study explores how IFRS will shape the future of financial reporting in Nigeria, focusing on trends such as increased automation, use of real-time data, and enhanced corporate governance practices in line with global reporting standards.
