Abstract
The study investigated the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on quality of financial information. It further examines if understandability enhances the quality of financial information; whether accuracy increases the quality of financial information; and if comparability improves the quality of financial information. The study adopted a survey approach. One hundred copies of structured questionnaire, designed in accordance with the aforementioned objectives of the study were distributed to ten different banks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The data generated from the survey was analysed using tables, percentages, mean and regression analysis. Findings of the study revealed that understandability enhances the quality of financial information, accuracy increases the quality of financial information and comparability improves the quality of financial information. The Implication of this is that understandability, accuracy and comparability have the potentials of enhancing the quality of financial information. It is therefore concluded that IFRS contributes to the quality of financial information. Also, it was recommended that the adoption of IFRS should be supported to enable uniformity in financial reporting.
