Background of the Study
In the wake of IFRS adoption, Nigerian firms and auditors face new challenges in maintaining the quality of financial reporting. Training is a critical element in ensuring that auditors are well-equipped to handle IFRS-compliant financial statements. This study explores the relationship between IFRS training and audit quality in Nigeria, focusing on whether adequate training improves the overall effectiveness of audits in terms of accuracy, compliance, and transparency.
Statement of the Problem
Although IFRS adoption aims to improve the quality of financial reporting, the success of these standards largely depends on the expertise of auditors. In Nigeria, auditors' understanding and application of IFRS can vary significantly. There is a need to assess whether enhanced IFRS training for auditors leads to improvements in audit quality, especially regarding the accuracy and reliability of financial statements.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between IFRS training and audit quality in Nigeria.
The objectives are:
- To determine how IFRS training influences auditors’ ability to conduct high-quality audits.
- To assess the impact of IFRS education on the accuracy and reliability of financial audits in Nigerian companies.
- To evaluate the effect of specialized IFRS training programs on the detection of financial misreporting and fraud.
- To examine the challenges Nigerian auditors face in implementing IFRS and how training can mitigate these challenges.
Research Questions
- How does IFRS training impact the quality of audits conducted in Nigerian companies?
- To what extent does IFRS training improve the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting?
- Does specialized IFRS training enhance auditors' ability to detect and prevent financial misreporting or fraud?
- What challenges do Nigerian auditors face when applying IFRS in audits, and how can training address these issues?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS training has a positive impact on the quality of audits in Nigeria.
- Auditors with specialized IFRS training are more effective in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting.
- Training in IFRS enhances auditors' ability to detect financial misreporting and fraud.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide critical insights into how IFRS training can improve the quality of audits in Nigeria. The findings will be valuable to regulators, auditing firms, and educational institutions that aim to enhance the professional capacity of auditors to meet the challenges of IFRS implementation.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian auditors, particularly those in public auditing firms and accounting organizations. Limitations include potential bias in self-reported data from auditors and the challenge of measuring audit quality objectively.
