Background of the Study
Investor confidence plays a crucial role in the growth and stability of financial markets, particularly in emerging economies like Nigeria. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is believed to enhance the quality and transparency of financial statements, which in turn could increase investor trust and attract foreign investment. By providing a standardized and comparable financial reporting framework, IFRS could potentially improve investors' ability to assess company performance and make informed investment decisions.
This study examines the relationship between IFRS adoption and investor confidence in Nigerian firms, using a quantitative approach to analyze whether the implementation of IFRS has positively influenced investors’ perceptions of the reliability of financial information.
Statement of the Problem
While IFRS adoption in Nigeria has been praised for improving financial reporting, it remains unclear how significant its impact has been on investor confidence. This study aims to explore whether the increased transparency brought about by IFRS has led to enhanced investor confidence in Nigerian firms and the Nigerian stock market.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
1. To evaluate the effect of IFRS adoption on investor confidence in Nigerian firms.
2. To determine the relationship between financial transparency through IFRS and investment decisions in Nigeria.
3. To identify the challenges Nigerian firms face in maintaining IFRS compliance and its impact on investor confidence.
Research Questions
1. How has IFRS adoption affected investor confidence in Nigerian firms?
2. What is the relationship between financial transparency (through IFRS) and investment decisions in Nigeria?
3. What challenges do Nigerian firms face in complying with IFRS that could affect investor confidence?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: IFRS adoption has no significant effect on investor confidence in Nigerian firms.
2. H₀: There is no significant relationship between financial transparency and investment decisions in Nigeria.
3. H₀: Nigerian firms face no significant challenges in IFRS compliance that affect investor confidence.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the impact of IFRS on investor confidence, offering recommendations for Nigerian firms on how to enhance transparency and attract investment. The findings could also assist policymakers in understanding the broader implications of IFRS adoption for Nigeria's financial market.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and assess investor confidence within the Nigerian financial market. Limitations include potential differences in investor perceptions and varying levels of IFRS compliance across firms.
