Background of the Study
Big data analytics involves analyzing large and complex datasets to uncover patterns, trends, and insights that can improve decision-making. In financial reporting, big data analytics enhances accuracy, transparency, and compliance by enabling organizations to process vast amounts of financial information efficiently (Olowu & Adeola, 2023).
MTN Nigeria, a leading telecommunications company, generates extensive financial and operational data daily. By leveraging big data analytics, the company can ensure accurate financial reporting, improve regulatory compliance, and enhance stakeholder trust. However, the adoption of big data analytics in financial reporting faces challenges such as data privacy concerns, technological barriers, and high implementation costs (Eze & Okonkwo, 2024).
This study examines the role of big data analytics in enhancing financial reporting accuracy in MTN Nigeria, providing insights into its benefits and implementation challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Accurate financial reporting is essential for corporate transparency and regulatory compliance. However, traditional financial reporting methods are often inadequate for handling the volume and complexity of data generated by large organizations like MTN Nigeria. While big data analytics offers a solution, its adoption remains limited due to technological and organizational challenges (Adeyemi & Nwogu, 2024).
Understanding how big data analytics enhances financial reporting accuracy is crucial for promoting its adoption and addressing the challenges faced by organizations like MTN Nigeria.
