Background of the Study
Trade barriers such as tariffs, exchange rate volatility, and inconsistent regulatory requirements often pose significant challenges to businesses operating in international markets. The adoption of IFRS is thought to play a role in reducing these barriers by standardizing financial reporting, enhancing transparency, and improving business relations between countries. This study aims to quantify the role that IFRS adoption has played in reducing trade barriers for Nigerian businesses, facilitating smoother trade and investment flows.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of IFRS adoption, its impact on reducing trade barriers for Nigerian firms remains uncertain. The lack of standardized financial reporting practices often hinders trade by creating uncertainty and distrust between international trade partners. This study seeks to investigate how IFRS can potentially reduce these barriers and enhance Nigeria's integration into the global market.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess the role of IFRS in reducing trade barriers in Nigeria.
The objectives are:
- To analyze the extent to which IFRS adoption has contributed to the reduction of trade barriers for Nigerian businesses.
- To examine the relationship between IFRS adoption and the facilitation of cross-border trade and investments.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of IFRS in improving financial transparency and reducing trade friction for Nigerian firms.
- To assess the role of IFRS in fostering stronger trade relations between Nigeria and international markets.
Research Questions
- How has the adoption of IFRS contributed to the reduction of trade barriers for Nigerian firms?
- What role does IFRS adoption play in improving Nigeria's trade relations with other countries?
- Has IFRS adoption facilitated smoother cross-border trade and investment flows for Nigerian businesses?
- To what extent has IFRS adoption enhanced financial transparency and reduced trade frictions?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS adoption has contributed to the reduction of trade barriers for Nigerian firms.
- Nigerian businesses that adopt IFRS experience greater ease in international trade and investment.
- IFRS has improved financial transparency, reducing trade friction for Nigerian exporters.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide empirical evidence on the role of IFRS adoption in reducing trade barriers for Nigerian businesses. It will help policymakers, trade authorities, and businesses better understand the benefits of aligning financial reporting with global standards and the potential to improve Nigeria’s trade competitiveness.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian firms that have adopted IFRS and their international trade experiences before and after adoption. Limitations may include access to data on specific trade barriers and the complexity of quantifying trade barriers.
