Background of the Study
Nigerian export-oriented firms face various challenges, including currency fluctuations, market instability, and regulatory barriers. International Accounting Standards (IAS), particularly the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), may play a critical role in enhancing the financial reporting and transparency of these firms, making them more competitive in the global market. This study explores the impact of IAS and IFRS on the performance, financial transparency, and competitiveness of Nigerian export-oriented firms.
Statement of the Problem
Nigerian export-oriented firms may struggle to meet the expectations of international stakeholders due to the use of outdated or non-standardized financial reporting practices. The adoption of IFRS is expected to improve the accuracy and comparability of financial information, but its specific impact on Nigerian export firms is yet to be fully understood. This study will investigate how the implementation of IFRS has affected these firms, particularly in terms of their ability to attract international investors and trade partners.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of International Accounting Standards (IFRS) on Nigerian export-oriented firms.
The objectives are:
- To evaluate the impact of IFRS adoption on the financial performance of export-oriented firms in Nigeria.
- To assess the role of IFRS in improving transparency and attracting international investors.
- To examine the influence of IFRS on reducing trade barriers for Nigerian exporters.
- To investigate the alignment of Nigerian export firms' financial reporting with global standards under IFRS.
Research Questions
- How has the adoption of IFRS affected the financial performance of Nigerian export-oriented firms?
- What role does IFRS play in enhancing financial transparency and attracting international trade partners?
- Has IFRS adoption contributed to reducing trade barriers faced by Nigerian export firms?
- How do export-oriented firms in Nigeria align their financial reporting with global standards through IFRS?
Research Hypotheses
- The adoption of IFRS has improved the financial performance of Nigerian export-oriented firms.
- There is a positive correlation between IFRS adoption and the attractiveness of Nigerian export firms to international investors.
- IFRS has played a role in reducing trade barriers for Nigerian export firms.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the importance of IFRS adoption for Nigerian export-oriented firms, particularly in improving their financial transparency, competitiveness, and ability to navigate global markets. The findings will be crucial for policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders in the export sector who seek to enhance the global standing of Nigerian firms.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian export-oriented firms that have adopted IFRS and analyze their performance before and after IFRS implementation. Limitations include the availability of financial data for certain firms and challenges in isolating the effects of IFRS from other factors influencing performance.
