ABSTRACT
This project examines the challenges and options of the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) in Nigeria. Exploratory (survey) research design was adopted, involving, the design and distribution of carefully crafted four - point likert scale questionnaire to the selected respondents. Overall twenty- eight observations were gathered, out of which eight were auditors. The resulting data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science SPSS version 17. The results show that at 5% level of significance there is no significant difference between the opinions of the respondent groups and the effectiveness of IFRS on companies. Furthermore there is no significant difference between the opinions of the respondent groups on the difficulties of adopting IFRS. Among other things, it is recommended that although at this initial stage it might seem difficult to work with IFRS, accountants are encouraged to start working with it and as time goes on they will full understanding of it.
