Background of the Study
Investor confidence is critical for the growth and stability of financial markets. In Nigeria, where volatility and inconsistencies in financial reporting have previously deterred investors, the adoption of IFRS is seen as a potential solution for improving transparency and attracting foreign and local investment. This study seeks to quantitatively analyze the impact of IFRS adoption on investor confidence in Nigerian firms.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the adoption of IFRS, Nigerian financial markets continue to face challenges related to investor trust and confidence. There is limited research on whether IFRS adoption has truly contributed to improving investor perceptions and decision-making in Nigerian firms. This study aims to fill this gap by quantitatively analyzing the relationship between IFRS adoption and investor confidence.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess the relationship between IFRS adoption and investor confidence in Nigerian firms.
The objectives are:
- To examine how IFRS adoption influences investor confidence in Nigerian publicly listed companies.
- To assess whether improved financial transparency under IFRS leads to higher levels of investment in Nigerian firms.
- To analyze the impact of IFRS adoption on the volatility of Nigerian stocks.
- To explore investor perceptions of financial transparency and its relationship to IFRS compliance.
Research Questions
- How has IFRS adoption affected investor confidence in Nigerian firms?
- To what extent has IFRS compliance improved financial transparency and reduced stock price volatility in Nigeria?
- What is the relationship between IFRS adoption and foreign investment inflows into Nigerian firms?
- How do Nigerian investors perceive the benefits of IFRS in terms of financial decision-making?
Research Hypotheses
- There is a significant positive relationship between IFRS adoption and investor confidence in Nigerian firms.
- IFRS adoption leads to a reduction in stock price volatility in Nigerian firms.
- Improved financial transparency due to IFRS adoption has led to increased foreign investment in Nigerian firms.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide empirical evidence on the role of IFRS in enhancing investor confidence, offering valuable insights to investors, policymakers, and firms in Nigeria. The findings will help determine whether IFRS can be leveraged to promote a more stable and attractive investment climate in Nigeria.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on publicly listed Nigerian companies that have fully adopted IFRS. Limitations may include the difficulty in measuring investor confidence directly and isolating the effects of IFRS adoption from other influencing factors, such as macroeconomic conditions.
