Background of the Study
Professional accounting bodies are instrumental in supporting the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in various countries, including Nigeria. In Nigeria, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) play key roles in promoting the understanding, education, and practical application of IFRS. This study will examine the role these professional bodies play in facilitating IFRS adoption in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
While the regulatory environment provides a legal framework for IFRS adoption, the effective implementation of IFRS largely depends on the capacity of professional accounting bodies to provide training, education, and support to Nigerian accountants. This study will assess the effectiveness of these bodies in facilitating IFRS adoption and suggest improvements to their roles in the process.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of professional accounting bodies in facilitating IFRS adoption in Nigeria.
The objectives are:
- To assess the efforts of professional accounting bodies in promoting IFRS adoption in Nigeria.
- To evaluate the role of these bodies in providing IFRS training and certification.
- To examine the support provided by professional accounting bodies to firms during IFRS implementation.
- To recommend strategies for improving the role of professional bodies in facilitating IFRS adoption.
Research Questions
- What efforts have professional accounting bodies made in promoting IFRS adoption in Nigeria?
- How effective are these bodies in providing IFRS training and certification to accountants?
- What support do professional accounting bodies offer to firms during IFRS implementation?
- How can professional accounting bodies enhance their role in facilitating IFRS adoption in Nigeria?
Research Hypotheses
- Professional accounting bodies have played a significant role in promoting IFRS adoption in Nigeria.
- The training and certification programs provided by professional accounting bodies have been effective in enhancing accountants' knowledge of IFRS.
- Professional accounting bodies offer effective support to firms in implementing IFRS.
- Strengthening the role of professional bodies will further facilitate IFRS adoption in Nigeria.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the critical role of professional accounting bodies in facilitating IFRS adoption in Nigeria. The findings will help enhance the support provided to accounting professionals and firms, ensuring a smoother and more effective IFRS transition. This will be beneficial to accounting bodies, policymakers, and Nigerian businesses.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on the activities of ICAN, ANAN, and other professional accounting bodies in Nigeria. Limitations may include challenges in accessing specific information on training programs and the varying effectiveness of initiatives across different regions and sectors.
