Research Objectives and Key Topics

The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the preparedness of the Indian banking sector for the effective implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by analyzing the perceptions of key stakeholders, including employees, depositors, and investors. The study aims to bridge the research gap regarding the impact of IFRS implementation on banking administration and operational trust through the application of a unique Group Recommender System (GRS) model.

• Implementation of IFRS in the Indian banking sector and regulatory compliance.
• Evaluation of stakeholder perceptions (employees, depositors, investors) regarding IFRS readiness.
• Application of Group Recommender Systems (GRS) for customized financial data and decision support.
• Benefits and challenges associated with the transition to IFRS (Ind AS).
• Development of a conceptual model linking IFRS adoption, stakeholder trust, and economic growth.
