ABSTRACT

As the forces of globalization prompt more and more countries to open their doors to foreign investments and as businesses expand across borders, this has led to recognition of the benefits of having a commonly understood financial reporting framework supported by strong global accepted accounting standards. The circumstances that necessitated this recognition arose out of the need for reliability, in respect of financial information being disclosed in the published financial statement of various enterprises in various countries. The adoption of IFRS has therefore become an issue of global relevance. The research project investigated the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the delivery of reliable accounting information. The problem has always been the need for accounting standards that would cut across borders. Thus, boosting the reliability of local accounting information as well as the confidence of local financial information users and foreign investors alike. Primary data was sourced by the researcher through the distribution of a well drafted 52 questionnaires. Simple regression and Pearson product moment correlation were used as analytical technique to test the relationship between the variables. The variables considered in the study are IFRS and delivery of reliable accounting information. After the study it was concluded that Accounting information serve their purpose better only when they are prepared in compliance with the relevant standards. Also the study established that the existence of two different accounting systems is problematic for both companies and investors and also that Investors cannot readily compare the accounting information in different countries. Furthermore, the study stated that the need to prepare multiple set of accounting information is costly and administratively burdensome. Based on the above the study recommends that Top management, external auditors and regulators being the key players in standards, need to work together and tighten compliance so that impact of IFRS could be felt more.
