Background of the Study
Financial risk reporting is a critical component of corporate governance and financial transparency. Nigerian corporations have faced challenges in providing adequate and reliable risk disclosures. The adoption of IFRS, with its emphasis on transparency, is expected to enhance risk reporting by requiring companies to disclose various financial risks more comprehensively. This study explores the impact of IFRS adoption on financial risk reporting in Nigerian corporations.
Statement of the Problem
Despite IFRS’s emphasis on risk disclosures, Nigerian corporations continue to face challenges in providing transparent, reliable, and comprehensive financial risk information. This study seeks to understand the extent to which IFRS has improved financial risk reporting and whether it has led to more accurate risk assessments in Nigerian companies.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of IFRS adoption on financial risk reporting in Nigerian corporations.
The objectives are:
- To assess the quality of financial risk disclosures in Nigerian companies before and after adopting IFRS.
- To evaluate the extent to which IFRS influences the comprehensiveness and accuracy of financial risk reporting in Nigerian corporations.
- To examine the challenges Nigerian corporations face in complying with IFRS’s financial risk reporting requirements.
- To analyze the role of IFRS in enhancing investor confidence through improved risk reporting.
Research Questions
- How has IFRS adoption improved financial risk reporting in Nigerian corporations?
- To what extent do Nigerian companies comply with IFRS requirements for financial risk disclosures?
- What challenges do Nigerian corporations face in providing accurate and comprehensive financial risk information under IFRS?
- How does improved financial risk reporting under IFRS affect investor confidence in Nigerian firms?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS adoption has significantly improved the quality of financial risk reporting in Nigerian corporations.
- Nigerian corporations face challenges in fully complying with IFRS financial risk reporting requirements.
- Enhanced financial risk reporting under IFRS increases investor confidence in Nigerian firms.
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the understanding of how IFRS enhances financial risk reporting practices in Nigerian corporations. The findings will help policymakers, regulators, and business leaders improve risk management and reporting practices in line with global standards.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian corporations listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange that have fully adopted IFRS. Limitations may include the availability of risk-related data and the potential reluctance of firms to disclose sensitive financial information.
