Background of the Study
Financial risk disclosures are an integral part of corporate financial statements, providing stakeholders with information on the potential risks that could impact an organization’s financial position and performance. Effective disclosure practices enhance transparency, build investor confidence, and support informed decision-making (Ajayi & Ogunleye, 2023).
In Nigeria, financial risk disclosures have become increasingly important due to heightened regulatory requirements and stakeholder demands for accountability. UAC Nigeria Plc, a leading diversified company, operates in a complex risk environment and serves as a suitable case for evaluating the quality and comprehensiveness of financial risk disclosures in corporate financial statements (Olatunji & Balogun, 2024).
This study explores the extent and quality of financial risk disclosures in UAC Nigeria Plc’s financial statements, assessing their compliance with regulatory standards and their relevance to stakeholders.
Statement of the Problem
Despite regulatory frameworks such as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) mandating comprehensive financial risk disclosures, many Nigerian corporations fall short in terms of quality and compliance. Challenges such as lack of standardization, inadequate expertise, and reluctance to disclose sensitive information hinder the effectiveness of these disclosures (Eze & Adeyemi, 2025).
UAC Nigeria Plc provides a relevant context for examining these issues, given its diverse business operations and exposure to various financial risks. This study seeks to evaluate the adequacy of financial risk disclosures in the company’s financial statements.
