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.

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.
