Background of the Study
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a significant source of capital for emerging economies like Nigeria. FDI can lead to job creation, technology transfer, and economic growth. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is expected to improve the quality and transparency of financial reporting, which can attract foreign investors by reducing information asymmetry and increasing trust in financial statements. This study seeks to examine the impact of IFRS adoption on foreign direct investment in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Although IFRS adoption is intended to enhance financial transparency and comparability, its actual impact on foreign direct investment in Nigeria is not well understood. While the adoption of IFRS can theoretically improve investor confidence, various factors such as political stability, economic conditions, and infrastructure may also influence foreign investment. This study aims to assess the specific impact of IFRS adoption on FDI in Nigeria.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of IFRS adoption on foreign direct investment in Nigeria.
The objectives are:
- To examine the relationship between IFRS adoption and the level of foreign direct investment in Nigeria.
- To evaluate whether IFRS compliance improves Nigeria’s attractiveness as a destination for foreign investment.
- To assess the challenges that may affect the impact of IFRS adoption on FDI in Nigeria.
Research Questions
- What is the relationship between IFRS adoption and the level of foreign direct investment in Nigeria?
- How does IFRS compliance improve Nigeria’s attractiveness to foreign investors?
- What challenges affect the impact of IFRS adoption on foreign direct investment in Nigeria?
Research Hypotheses
- IFRS adoption positively influences foreign direct investment in Nigeria.
- Compliance with IFRS enhances Nigeria’s attractiveness as a destination for foreign direct investment.
- Challenges in implementing IFRS reduce its impact on foreign direct investment in Nigeria.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the role of IFRS adoption in attracting foreign direct investment to Nigeria. The findings will help policymakers, regulators, and businesses understand how IFRS compliance can enhance Nigeria’s appeal to foreign investors.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study will focus on Nigeria as a case study for analyzing the impact of IFRS on foreign direct investment. Limitations include the potential difficulty in isolating the specific impact of IFRS on FDI due to the influence of other factors on investment decisions.
