Book excerpt: Since her political independence from the British government in 1960, Nigeria has gone through different phases in the effort to develop the corporate sector. The intention was to drive the economy through corporate enterprises; however, the absence of effective corporate governance structure and conducive investment environment has no doubt been a source of concern for investors and successive governments. Meticulously researched and organized, this book takes the global view on corporate governance to provide insight into the corporate governance conundrum in Nigeria. Against the background of international standard, Author, Olusola A. Akinpelu proposes a number of reforms to the existing governance structure and delves into the history of corporate development from the 1960s through the present. In addition, Akinpelu offers an in-depth analysis of the philosophical foundations for corporate governance and compiles the theories, models, statutes, reforms, international standards, guidelines, and legal cases on corporate governance in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States of America, and elsewhere to show how no country is completely immune from corporate collapse. A timely work, Corporate Governance Framework in Nigeria will interest students of business economics, business law, legal practitioners, and researchers in the field of corporate governance. An excellently well written book on all important subject of socio-economic value and relevance. - Guoleba Seri (Esq), Chairman/CEO, Seri Associates, LLC, NY.

This academic paper endeavours to classify, categorize, map and synthesize the research on this topic during 1998-2017. In the analysis of the body of research in corporate governance in Nigeria, five key themes emerge. (1) Several research studies focus on institutional influences of corporate governance and discussions centre on how a country's culture, laws, regulations, norms and institutions inform corporate governance practice. (2) Other studies address concerted effort by international organizations and the Nigerian government to change corporate governance practices in Nigeria. (3) Further, studies have been conducted on the state of shareholder activism in Nigeria (4) corporate governance disclosure of publicly listed companies and (5) corporate governance and firm performance (6) corporate social responsibility in Nigeria. Based on the extensive review, missing perspectives on corporate governance research in Nigeria have been identified and propositions are made for future research directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the tasks and functions of corporate governance in the light of current challenges and the dynamics that arise from a broader approach to company management and the integration of corporate governance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. Addressing the corporate governance shortcomings that are believed to have contributed to the recent financial crisis, it explores the interplay between corporate governance and CSR, and includes examples of company practice to show how such changes affect the practices of shareholders, boards of directors and regulators. In particular, the book examines shareholders’ activities, their different investment strategies, specific reporting expectations and the submission of proposals to the annual meeting. Further, for boards of directors it explores the need to revise their tasks with respect to the criteria for executive appointments, their corporate strategy, performance measures and diversity recommendations, while for directors it provides recommendations to reconsider the structure of executive pay and performance incentives. Lastly, for regulators the book investigates the need to introduce new laws addressing, for instance, the need for integrated reporting, limiting the voice of short term oriented shareholders and providing guidelines for executive compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensforschung, Operations Research, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Corporate governance refers to the system through which organization are directed and controlled. Following the experiences of failed companies in America and Europe in recent times and the resultant consequence on unemployment, wealth creation and shareholder value, corporate governance has taken a centre stage worldwide especially in emerging economies such as Nigeria that can ill-afford system failure. Typically, in public corporations directors are elected by shareholders to manage the affairs of the corporate on their behalf; which by implications imposes on the directors fiduciary responsibilities. A person with fiduciary duty is a person entrusted with the power or property with the understanding that the person is working for the benefit of the individual(s) who may have entrusted them with such responsibilities – therefore directors have fiduciary responsibilities to work in the best interest of shareholders and for the benefit of shareholders not in the interest of some other people or their individual interest. From all indications, the current global financial crises have revealed severe shortcoming in corporate governance across the global, there seems to be a common factor, an apparent lack of checks and balances needed by companies in order to cultivate sound business ethics bringing about the concern for improved corporate governance across all continents, this provides the needed motivation for this study. In Nigeria; for instance several public companies including local subsidiaries of western multinational companies have been criticized for various degrees of unethical practices. The case of Cadbury Nigeria PLC referred to as ‘Deliberate breaches of accounting system and controls’, are only a tip of the ice berg in Nigeria, a country that has for many years been sapped by widespread corruption. The choice of Cadbury Nigeria Plc for this study is because of their strategic importance as industrial giant in Nigeria that are presumed to be well established and respected for decades. It is expected that this study will contribute to knowledge on corporate governance as well as proffer some solution to the shortcomings and challenges of corporate governance issues with reference to Nigeria.

Book excerpt: Using a range of case-studies, this book analyzes corporate governance relationships between several African countries and the international community, providing an ethical assessment of issues surrounding globalization and adherence to external governance mechanisms.

With case studies from Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and The Gambia the book presents a comprehensive view of North, East, West and South Africa with contributions from global experts in the field. The authors critique the transformations deemed necessary for governance procedures in order to facilitate confidence and inward investment for these African states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyses the adequacy of the corporate governance framework in the context of the legal relationship between the directors, shareholders and stakeholders and proffer suggestions for reform. The increasing economic power of corporations and the implications of the separation of ownership from control have thrown up a number of interrelated problems. These include the need to make the corporations fulfill the genuine expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. It was soon realized that corporate law and governance need to be better positioned in order to ensure a fair and sustainable balance between directors, shareholders and stakeholders interests. In Nigeria this is made worse by obsolete legislation, weak law enforcement mechanisms, lack of adherence to regulatory rules and weak monitoring systems. Primarily this research employed doctrinal legal research, which consist of analysis of rules,concepts and laws. The process involved primary and secondary information and knowledge gathering. The primary sources are relevant legislation and judicial decisions within and outside Nigeria. The secondary sources of information are journal articles, textbooks and learned papers. The research reveals the gaps in corporate law and governance in Nigeria in a number of areas which include: The corporate governance structure; the involvement and relationship between the directors, shareholders and stakeholders; the regulatory framework for corporate governance; the legal and practice regime for corporate governance. The study suggests that the regulatory framework in Nigeria needs to be improved upon in order to ensure that the interest of shareholders and stakeholders is protected. The study equally proffers the need for the legislature and the courts to do more to ensure that corporate law and governance in Nigeria are improved in line with global trends.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to examine whether accounting conservatism significantly promotes corporate governance practices in private sector organizations in Nigeria. To achieve this purpose, some research questions were raised, certain statements were hypothesized, and a review of extant literature was made. The population for this study comprises chief executives of selected companies and practicing accountants in the South-East zone of Nigeria. The questionnaire, which was the major instrument for data collection was administered on one hundred and seventy-one (171) respondents to elicit information on the variables under-study. The data were analyzed using the mean scores while the stated hypotheses were statistically tested with the F-ratio. Our findings indicated that accounting conservatism promotes corporate governance, but its influence on corporate governance practice is insignificant. Though accounting conservatism does not significantly promote corporate governance practice, it disallows the creation of hidden reserves and excessive provisions, which are capable of increasing agency costs of the firm. For this and many other reasons, accounting conservatism must not be under-mined in corporate governance practice.
