Background of the Study

Financial reporting in the pension industry is crucial for ensuring transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance. In Nigeria, pension fund administrators (PFAs) are mandated to adhere to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and guidelines issued by PENCOM to maintain public trust. TrustFund Pensions, as one of Nigeria’s leading PFAs, plays a significant role in shaping industry standards through its financial reporting practices (Okoro & Usman, 2024).

Despite these efforts, concerns about the adequacy and accuracy of financial disclosures remain, raising questions about the effectiveness of current reporting practices. This study evaluates financial reporting practices in Nigeria’s pension industry, focusing on TrustFund Pensions’ compliance with IFRS and regulatory guidelines.

Statement of the Problem

The pension industry in Nigeria faces challenges such as inconsistent financial disclosures, lack of transparency, and inadequate regulatory oversight. These issues undermine stakeholders’ confidence and hinder the effective management of pension funds.
