Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has become a significant feature of the Nigerian accounting landscape, mandated by the Nigerian Accounting Standards Board (NASB) for all listed companies. However, the level of IFRS implementation may vary across regions in Nigeria due to differences in infrastructure, educational resources, and business practices. This study aims to conduct a quantitative analysis of IFRS implementation across Nigerian regions, identifying regional disparities and factors that influence adoption.
Statement of the Problem
While IFRS adoption is now a legal requirement for Nigerian firms, the pace and quality of implementation may differ across the country's regions. These variations could be attributed to regional economic activities, availability of skilled labor, and regional regulatory support. This study seeks to quantify the extent of IFRS adoption across Nigeria's regions and assess the factors driving these regional disparities.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess the implementation of IFRS across different regions of Nigeria.
