Background of the Study
Financial reporting compliance is an essential component of corporate governance in banks and financial institutions. It involves adhering to the established accounting standards, regulatory frameworks, and reporting requirements set by governing bodies such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Financial Reporting Council (FRC). For banks operating in Bauchi State, compliance with these regulations is crucial for maintaining transparency, ensuring accountability, and fostering trust with investors, regulators, and the general public.
Despite the regulatory framework, many Nigerian banks struggle with issues related to incomplete financial disclosures, misrepresentation of financial data, and non-compliance with reporting standards. These challenges undermine the credibility of financial statements and can lead to legal sanctions, loss of customer confidence, and damage to the bank's reputation. This study seeks to investigate the level of financial reporting compliance among Nigerian banks operating in Bauchi State, evaluate the factors that affect compliance, and suggest measures to enhance adherence to financial reporting standards.
Statement of the Problem
The problem of non-compliance with financial reporting standards in Nigerian banks is widespread, with some banks failing to meet regulatory requirements or providing misleading financial information. In Bauchi State, banks face challenges in ensuring full compliance due to factors such as inadequate internal controls, lack of capacity in accounting departments, and inconsistent application of accounting standards. This study aims to examine the level of financial reporting compliance in Nigerian banks in Bauchi State and identify the key challenges they face in adhering to reporting requirements.
