Background of the Study
Loan loss provisioning is a critical aspect of financial stability in the banking sector, as it ensures that banks maintain sufficient reserves to cover potential loan defaults. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), particularly IFRS 9, has introduced forward-looking models for loan loss provisioning, replacing the incurred loss model. This shift significantly affects how Nigerian banks manage credit risk and maintain financial stability.
Statement of the Problem
The transition from the incurred loss model to the expected credit loss (ECL) model under IFRS 9 poses significant challenges for Nigerian banks, including increased complexity in credit risk modeling and potential impacts on profitability. While IFRS aims to improve the accuracy and transparency of financial reporting, the implications for loan loss provisioning in Nigerian banks remain underexplored.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To evaluate the impact of IFRS adoption on loan loss provisioning in Nigerian banks.
Objectives:
To assess the changes introduced by IFRS 9 in loan loss provisioning practices in Nigerian banks.
To analyze the challenges faced by Nigerian banks in implementing the expected credit loss model.
To determine the impact of IFRS 9 on the financial performance of Nigerian banks.
Research Questions
How has IFRS 9 changed loan loss provisioning practices in Nigerian banks?
What challenges do Nigerian banks face in implementing the expected credit loss model?
How does IFRS 9 affect the financial performance of Nigerian banks?
Research Hypotheses
IFRS 9 has significantly altered loan loss provisioning practices in Nigerian banks.
Nigerian banks face considerable challenges in implementing the expected credit loss model.
The adoption of IFRS 9 positively affects the financial performance of Nigerian banks.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into how IFRS adoption impacts loan loss provisioning in Nigerian banks, contributing to the understanding of its implications for credit risk management and financial stability.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on Nigerian banks that have adopted IFRS 9, with particular emphasis on loan loss provisioning practices. Limitations may include access to proprietary banking data and the dynamic nature of IFRS implementation.
