The research design was a survey research design, and a well structured questionnaire was employed to gather the data.The findings reveal significant positive impacts. IFRS adoption positively influences SMEs performance in Lagos State (β = 2.027; p < .05). and there exists a significant positive relationship between financial reporting quality and SMEs performance (β = 1.991; p < .05). Additionally, the current level of financial reporting education among SME owners significantly impacts their business performance (β = 2.159; p < .05).The study recommends proactive measures such as promoting IFRS adoption and implementing financial reporting education programs tailored for SME owners.These initiatives are anticipated to enhance transparency, facilitate informed decision-making, and improve overall business performance.
