Background of the Study
The adoption and implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria has been influenced by various regulatory changes, both locally and globally. Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Nigerian Accounting Standards Board (NASB), and other regulatory bodies have played a significant role in shaping the country's approach to IFRS adoption. Additionally, changes in global financial regulations, such as the introduction of IFRS 9, IFRS 15, and IFRS 16, have had a significant impact on the implementation process in Nigeria.
This study explores the impact of regulatory changes on the IFRS implementation process in Nigeria, assessing how these changes have shaped the adoption of IFRS in Nigerian companies and the challenges faced by firms in complying with updated regulations.
Statement of the Problem
The implementation of IFRS in Nigeria has faced several challenges, including evolving regulatory frameworks, inconsistent enforcement, and resistance from firms. This study seeks to evaluate how recent regulatory changes have influenced the implementation process, identifying both the opportunities and challenges created by these changes.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To examine the impact of regulatory changes on the adoption and implementation of IFRS in Nigeria.
2. To assess the challenges Nigerian firms face in complying with evolving IFRS regulations.
3. To explore the role of regulatory bodies in facilitating IFRS implementation in Nigeria.
Research Questions
1. How have regulatory changes impacted the adoption and implementation of IFRS in Nigerian firms?
2. What challenges have Nigerian firms faced in complying with regulatory changes related to IFRS?
3. How have regulatory bodies contributed to facilitating the implementation of IFRS in Nigeria?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: Regulatory changes do not significantly impact the adoption and implementation of IFRS in Nigeria.
2. H₀: Nigerian firms face no significant challenges in complying with evolving IFRS regulations.
3. H₀: Regulatory bodies have not significantly contributed to facilitating the implementation of IFRS in Nigeria.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the role of regulatory changes in the successful implementation of IFRS in Nigeria. It will highlight the challenges and opportunities created by evolving regulations and offer recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and firms seeking to improve IFRS compliance.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on regulatory changes affecting IFRS adoption in Nigeria, with particular emphasis on the role of regulatory bodies and challenges faced by firms. Limitations include the complexity of tracking all regulatory changes and the varying degrees of compliance among firms.
