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.

The aim of this study is to assess the long-term effects of IFRS on the future financial reporting practices in Nigeria.
The objectives are:
- To analyze the impact of IFRS on the accuracy and reliability of financial reports in Nigerian firms.
- To explore the potential changes in financial reporting practices as IFRS adoption becomes more entrenched in Nigeria.
- To assess the role of IFRS in improving the comparability and consistency of financial reports across industries in Nigeria.
- To examine the challenges and opportunities for Nigerian firms in adapting their financial reporting practices in line with IFRS over time.
Research Questions
- How has IFRS adoption affected the accuracy and reliability of financial reports in Nigerian companies?

- IFRS adoption has led to greater consistency in financial reporting across industries in Nigeria.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the future of financial reporting in Nigeria under IFRS. The findings will help companies, regulators, and accountants anticipate future challenges and opportunities in the financial reporting landscape.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian firms that have fully adopted IFRS, with a particular emphasis on the oil, telecommunications, and banking sectors. Limitations may include the difficulty in predicting the long-term evolution of financial reporting practices and the impact of external factors on IFRS implementation.
