Background of the Study
Market valuation is a critical aspect of assessing the financial worth of companies, and it is influenced by various factors, including financial performance, investor perceptions, and market conditions. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is expected to enhance the transparency and comparability of financial statements, which, in turn, can affect how investors perceive a company's market value. This study seeks to examine the relationship between IFRS compliance and the market valuation of Nigerian firms.
Statement of the Problem
The adoption of IFRS is believed to improve the quality of financial information and enhance investor confidence. However, the actual impact of IFRS compliance on the market valuation of Nigerian firms is not well understood. While IFRS adoption may increase the accuracy and comparability of financial statements, it is unclear whether this translates to an increase in the market value of Nigerian firms. This study will explore the relationship between IFRS compliance and market valuation in Nigeria.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of IFRS compliance on the market valuation of Nigerian firms.
The objectives are:
- To analyze the relationship between IFRS compliance and the market valuation of Nigerian firms.
- To examine whether IFRS adoption leads to increased investor confidence and higher stock prices.
- To assess the challenges Nigerian firms face in implementing IFRS and its impact on market valuation.
Research Questions
- What is the relationship between IFRS compliance and the market valuation of Nigerian firms?
- How does IFRS adoption affect investor confidence and stock prices in Nigerian firms?
- What challenges do Nigerian firms face in complying with IFRS, and how do these challenges affect their market valuation?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS compliance positively affects the market valuation of Nigerian firms.
- The adoption of IFRS leads to increased investor confidence and higher stock prices in Nigerian firms.
- Challenges in adopting IFRS negatively impact the market valuation of Nigerian firms.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into how IFRS adoption influences the market valuation of Nigerian firms. The findings will be useful for investors, financial analysts, and policymakers in understanding the potential benefits of IFRS compliance in improving market valuation.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study will focus on publicly listed Nigerian companies that have adopted IFRS. Limitations include the potential difficulty in obtaining accurate and up-to-date stock price data and the varying levels of IFRS implementation across different sectors.
