Global accounting seeks to harmonize financial reporting by formulating regulations that are largely uniform across countries. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) advocates for worldwide adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to ensure consistency and comparability in financial statements. In Nigeria, the adoption of IFRS was officially launched in September 2010 by the Honourable Minister of Commerce and Industry, Senator Jubril Martins-Kuye (OFR). The implementation schedule required Public Limited Companies and entities of significant public interest to adopt IFRS by 2012 for statutory purposes, with all other public interest entities following by 2013, and small and medium-sized entities by 2014. This initiative has significantly influenced financial reporting practices and enhanced transparency in Nigeria
