Financial reporting


Impact Analysis of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, 2023 on Businesses
Introduction
The Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act 2023 (“the Act” or “Amended Act”) introduces several key modifications to the provisions of the FRCN 2011 Act (“the Principal Act”). These changes are intended to enhance transparency, accountability, good governance, and sustainable development within Nigeria’s business sector.
In this analysis, we will outline the major developments introduced by the Act and their significant impacts on businesses in Nigeria, with a particular focus on financial reporting.
1. Expansion of the PIE Definition
The Amended Act refines the definition of Public Interest Entities (PIEs) to include a broader range of entities, thereby expanding the scope of financial reporting requirements:
● Government and government organizations
● Listed entities on any recognized exchange in Nigeria
● Non-listed entities that are regulated
● Public limited companies
● Private companies that are holding companies of public or regulated entities
● Concession entities
● Privatized entities with government interest
● Entities engaged in public works with annual contracts of NGN 1 billion or more, funded by public funds
● Government licenses
● Entities with an annual turnover of NGN 30 billion or more
Previously, PIEs were described more narrowly, which led to ambiguity and varying interpretations. This broadening aims to reduce uncertainty and ensure comprehensive financial reporting across more sectors.
2. National Repository for General Purpose Financials
The Act establishes a national repository for the electronic submission of general-purpose financial accounts by public interest organizations. This initiative creates a centralized database for PIEs' financial reports, transforming the reporting process and enhancing accessibility and consistency in financial reporting.
Conclusion
The Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act 2023 brings significant changes to the regulatory landscape for businesses. By expanding the definition of PIEs and creating a national repository for financial reports, the Act aims to improve transparency and accountability in financial reporting, ultimately contributing to better governance and sustainable development within Nigeria’s business environment.
