Background of the Study
Financial technology (FinTech) innovations have transformed financial services globally, and Nigeria has emerged as a vibrant hub for FinTech startups. Flutterwave, a leading Nigerian FinTech company, has gained international recognition for its innovative payment solutions. The rapid adoption of such technologies has implications for financial reporting practices, including data accuracy, transparency, and efficiency (Adetunji & Okafor, 2023).
FinTech innovations such as automated accounting systems, real-time reporting tools, and advanced analytics enhance the quality of financial reports. They enable businesses to comply with regulatory standards, improve decision-making, and foster trust among stakeholders (Olowu & Bello, 2024). This study focuses on the impact of Flutterwave’s FinTech innovations on financial reporting practices in Nigeria, highlighting their benefits and challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing adoption of FinTech solutions in Nigeria, their integration into financial reporting practices faces challenges, including data security concerns, regulatory compliance, and the lack of skilled personnel. For companies like Flutterwave, ensuring that these innovations align with financial reporting standards is critical but under-researched (Usman & Adeola, 2023).
This gap necessitates a detailed examination of how FinTech innovations influence financial reporting practices, with a focus on Flutterwave’s contributions.
