Background of the Study

The adoption of IPSAS in Nigeria’s public sector was aimed at enhancing financial transparency and accountability, but its implementation across public institutions has faced several challenges. This study will conduct a quantitative analysis of IPSAS compliance among Nigerian public institutions, examining the degree to which these institutions have adhered to the IPSAS guidelines in their financial reporting and management practices.

Statement of the Problem

The implementation of IPSAS in Nigerian public institutions has been slow and uneven, with varying levels of compliance. While some public institutions have made significant strides in adopting IPSAS, others face challenges such as lack of capacity, insufficient training, and resistance to change. This study aims to quantitatively analyze the level of compliance with IPSAS in Nigerian public institutions and identify factors influencing their adherence to these standards.

Aim and Objectives of the Study

The primary aim of this study is to conduct a quantitative analysis of IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions.

Specific objectives include:

  1. To assess the level of compliance with IPSAS in Nigerian public institutions.
  2. To identify the factors influencing IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions.
  3. To examine the impact of IPSAS compliance on financial transparency and accountability in these institutions.
  4. To provide recommendations for improving IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions.

Research Questions

  1. What is the level of compliance with IPSAS in Nigerian public institutions?
  2. What factors influence the degree of IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions?
  3. How does IPSAS compliance impact financial transparency and accountability in Nigerian public institutions?
  4. What strategies can be implemented to improve IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions?

Research Hypotheses

  1. The level of IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions is positively related to improvements in financial transparency and accountability.
  2. Factors such as training, resources, and institutional support significantly influence IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions.
  3. Public institutions that comply with IPSAS show higher levels of financial transparency and accountability compared to those that do not.

Significance of the Study

This study will provide a detailed quantitative assessment of IPSAS compliance in Nigerian public institutions, identifying gaps and challenges in the adoption process. The findings will be useful for policymakers, public financial managers, and regulators seeking to improve the implementation of IPSAS in Nigeria.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study will focus on selected Nigerian public institutions that have adopted IPSAS. Limitations may include difficulties in accessing data on IPSAS compliance and variations in the level of implementation across institutions.
