Abstract
Historically, there is diversity in financial reporting in different countries due to culture, legal systems, tax systems and business structures. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) harmonizes this diversity by making financial statements more comparable. This study examine the adoption of IFRS in Nigeria in relation to its implementation and challenges among the Nigerian money deposit banks. It specifically evaluate whether the first time implementation of IFRS is costly and expensive, it also examine the extent of stakeholders’ awareness of this standard and the influence of existing Nigeria laws on the smooth transition to IFRS.New Institutional Theory is the theoretical framework on which this study was based. Eighty five (85) responses were obtained through questionnaires and analyzed using the simple percentages and Z-test statistical method to test its implementation challenges in Nigerian banking industry. The study reveals thatthe first time Implementation of IFRS is very expensive and costly, there is a low level of public awareness on the use of IFRS and the existing Nigerian laws does not have much influence on the smooth transition to IFRS. Consequently,recommendations were made that adequate resources should be put in place to support the sustainable implementation of IFRS by government, IFRS awareness programmes should be organized across the country to sensitize and orientate stakeholders on this issue and existing Nigerian laws should further be amended to enhance smooth transition to IFRS in Nigeria.
