Compliance Level with IFRS 7 by Deposit Money Banks: Whither Nigeria
Abstract
Purpose: The study examines the compliance level with IFRS 7 by deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period between 2017-2020.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts an un-weighted disclosure index method to test the two hypotheses and using Qualitative Grading System (QGS) to rank the level of compliance with the aid of explorative research design.
Findings: The study found that in average, the over-all compliance by DMBs at commencement year stood at 51.04% and this implies that as at the commencement year DMBs weakly complied with the requirements of IFRS 7.
Implications/Originality/Value: The study concluded that though DMBs in Nigeria do not totally comply with the provisions of IFRS 7 throughout the study period yet, there have been significant improvements in the level of compliance with the standard disclosure in the annual reports of DMBs in Nigeria. It’s therefore recommending that banks should strive to ensure full compliance with the standards as this will add more confidence in the economy. This must be done with the enforcement of regulatory bodies. The FRCN should intensify its mandate to ensure banks strictly comply with the provisions of IFRS.
