Background of the Study
The transition to IFRS represents a significant shift in financial reporting for Nigerian companies. As these companies continue to adopt and refine IFRS-based practices, there is a need to explore the long-term effects of IFRS on the future of financial reporting in Nigeria. This study will examine the ongoing evolution of financial reporting practices in Nigeria, focusing on how IFRS adoption influences the quality, accuracy, and transparency of financial reports.
Statement of the Problem
The full impact of IFRS on financial reporting practices in Nigeria is still unfolding. While IFRS is expected to enhance the comparability and transparency of financial reports, its long-term effects on Nigerian accounting practices remain uncertain. There is a need for a thorough examination of how IFRS will continue to shape financial reporting in the future, particularly in light of technological advancements and changing global financial dynamics.
