Background of the Study
Financial stability is essential for the sustainability and growth of banks, and it is closely tied to effective financial reporting and risk management. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is expected to enhance financial stability by promoting transparency, consistency, and comparability in financial statements. IFRS compliance may also improve the ability of banks to manage risks and make informed decisions, contributing to the overall stability of the financial system. This study aims to investigate the relationship between IFRS adoption and financial stability in Nigerian banks.
Statement of the Problem
Although IFRS is designed to improve financial transparency and stability, the extent to which its adoption enhances the financial stability of Nigerian banks remains uncertain. There may be challenges in fully aligning banking operations with IFRS requirements, which could affect the long-term stability of these institutions. This study seeks to assess how IFRS adoption has influenced financial stability in Nigerian banks.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between IFRS adoption and financial stability in Nigerian banks.
The objectives are:
- To evaluate the impact of IFRS adoption on the financial stability of Nigerian banks.
- To assess the influence of IFRS on risk management practices and their effect on financial stability.
- To identify challenges and limitations in adopting IFRS that may affect the financial stability of Nigerian banks.
Research Questions
- How does IFRS adoption affect the financial stability of Nigerian banks?
- What is the relationship between IFRS compliance and the risk management practices that contribute to financial stability in Nigerian banks?
- What challenges do Nigerian banks face in adopting IFRS, and how do these challenges impact their financial stability?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS adoption has a significant positive impact on the financial stability of Nigerian banks.
- The adoption of IFRS improves risk management practices, thereby enhancing the financial stability of Nigerian banks.
- Challenges in adopting IFRS negatively affect the financial stability of Nigerian banks.
Significance of the Study
This study will offer insights into the role of IFRS adoption in improving the financial stability of Nigerian banks. The findings will provide valuable information to regulators, financial managers, and policymakers in ensuring that IFRS compliance contributes to the stability and sustainability of the Nigerian banking sector.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian commercial banks that have adopted IFRS. Limitations include the availability of relevant data on financial stability and IFRS compliance, as well as varying levels of adoption among different banks.
