Background of the Study
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been adopted globally to provide a consistent framework for preparing and presenting financial statements. One of the key outcomes of IFRS adoption is the enhanced transparency and comparability of financial information across borders. In particular, IFRS is expected to improve the reliability of financial ratios used to evaluate company performance. These ratios, such as profitability, liquidity, and solvency ratios, are essential tools for decision-making by investors, regulators, and stakeholders. This study aims to examine the role of IFRS in enhancing financial ratios for Nigerian companies.
Statement of the Problem
The adoption of IFRS by Nigerian companies has led to a shift in financial reporting practices, with the objective of providing more accurate and comparable financial data. However, it is unclear whether IFRS compliance has led to more meaningful and reliable financial ratios. The effectiveness of IFRS in improving the quality of financial ratios and how these ratios reflect the true performance of Nigerian companies is an area that needs further investigation.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to assess the role of IFRS in enhancing financial ratios for Nigerian companies.
The objectives are:
- To examine the impact of IFRS adoption on the reliability and accuracy of financial ratios.
- To evaluate the effect of IFRS on the interpretation of profitability, liquidity, and solvency ratios of Nigerian companies.
- To assess the challenges Nigerian companies face in adopting IFRS and its implications for financial ratio analysis.
Research Questions
- How does IFRS adoption enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial ratios for Nigerian companies?
- What is the impact of IFRS on profitability, liquidity, and solvency ratios of Nigerian companies?
- What challenges do Nigerian companies face in interpreting financial ratios under IFRS?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS adoption positively impacts the accuracy and reliability of financial ratios for Nigerian companies.
- IFRS enhances the interpretation of profitability, liquidity, and solvency ratios for Nigerian companies.
- Challenges in adopting IFRS affect the accuracy and reliability of financial ratios in Nigerian companies.
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the understanding of how IFRS adoption influences the accuracy and reliability of financial ratios. The findings will provide insights for financial analysts, investors, and policymakers on the implications of IFRS adoption for decision-making processes in Nigerian companies.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study will focus on publicly listed Nigerian companies that are required to comply with IFRS. Limitations include potential challenges in accessing historical financial data before and after IFRS adoption and differences in the extent of IFRS implementation across industries.
