Background of the Study
The adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) by Nigerian states has brought significant changes to financial management and budgeting practices in the public sector. IPSAS provides a framework for accounting that promotes transparency, accountability, and consistency in financial reporting. The transition to IPSAS is expected to improve the budgeting process by aligning it with international standards and enhancing the effectiveness of public financial management. This study seeks to examine the impact of IPSAS adoption on budget implementation in Nigerian states.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the adoption of IPSAS in several Nigerian states, the full impact on budget implementation remains unclear. There are concerns regarding challenges in integrating IPSAS into existing public sector financial management systems, and whether the adoption of IPSAS has led to improvements in budget execution, monitoring, and accountability. This study aims to assess the impact of IPSAS on budget implementation in Nigerian states.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of IPSAS adoption on budget implementation in Nigerian states.
The objectives are:
- To examine the extent to which IPSAS has improved budget preparation and execution in Nigerian states.
- To identify the challenges faced by Nigerian states in implementing IPSAS in the budgeting process.
- To assess the effect of IPSAS on budget transparency, accountability, and financial control.
Research Questions
- How has the adoption of IPSAS impacted budget preparation and execution in Nigerian states?
- What challenges have Nigerian states faced in implementing IPSAS in their budgeting processes?
- How does IPSAS adoption influence budget transparency, accountability, and financial management in Nigerian states?
Research Hypotheses
- The adoption of IPSAS has led to significant improvements in budget preparation and execution in Nigerian states.
- Nigerian states face challenges such as inadequate capacity, lack of training, and resistance to change in implementing IPSAS in the budgeting process.
- IPSAS adoption has a positive impact on budget transparency and accountability in Nigerian states.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the effects of IPSAS adoption on budget implementation in Nigerian states. The findings will be useful to policymakers, public financial managers, and regulatory bodies working to improve public financial management and budgeting practices in Nigeria.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian states that have adopted IPSAS and implemented it in their budgeting processes. Limitations include access to up-to-date information on IPSAS adoption and challenges in gathering data from all states.
