Background of the Study
Nigeria's energy sector, particularly oil and gas, is central to the country’s economy. However, the sector faces challenges related to financial transparency, inconsistent reporting, and volatile commodity prices. IFRS adoption in Nigeria is seen as a way to standardize financial reporting, improve transparency, and provide more reliable financial information. This study explores the role of IFRS in enhancing financial stability within Nigeria's energy sector.
Statement of the Problem
The Nigerian energy sector has long been plagued by inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and instability due to inadequate financial reporting and the volatility of global energy prices. While IFRS adoption aims to improve financial transparency, the extent to which these standards contribute to the financial stability of the energy sector remains unclear.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of IFRS in enhancing financial stability in Nigeria’s energy sector.
The objectives are:
- To assess the impact of IFRS adoption on financial reporting quality in the energy sector.
- To explore the relationship between IFRS adoption and financial stability in Nigerian energy firms.
- To examine how IFRS improves transparency and decision-making in the energy sector.
- To identify challenges in implementing IFRS in the energy sector and how these challenges affect financial stability.
Research Questions
- How does IFRS adoption impact financial reporting quality in Nigeria’s energy sector?
- What is the relationship between IFRS adoption and financial stability in Nigerian energy firms?
- How does IFRS enhance financial decision-making in the energy sector?
- What are the challenges Nigerian energy firms face in implementing IFRS?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS adoption significantly improves financial reporting quality in Nigerian energy firms.
- There is a positive relationship between IFRS adoption and financial stability in Nigeria’s energy sector.
- Improved financial transparency due to IFRS enhances decision-making processes in the energy sector.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into how IFRS adoption can contribute to the financial stability of Nigeria’s energy sector, a crucial part of the national economy. The findings will help policymakers, regulators, and energy firms understand the potential benefits and challenges of IFRS adoption in ensuring sector stability.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian energy firms, particularly those in the oil and gas sub-sector, that have adopted IFRS. Limitations may include the difficulties in isolating the impact of IFRS from other macroeconomic factors affecting the sector.
