| 1 | Examining Corporate Governance Practices in Nigerian and Ghanaian Firms |
This paper reviews the historical background of corporate governance and emerging issues in -the development-aid practice of corporate governance in Nigerian and Ghana firms. The paper examines the role of institutional bodies on corporate governance of listed firms, regulatory and enforcement and institutional bodies of corporate governance in Nigeria and Ghana. Other issues also examined include role and responsibilities of corporate board and external factors that affect corporate governance such as politics, corruption and ownership structure of listed firms. We find that institutional shareholders are more active in Nigeria than Giana, also shareholders association in Ghana are not active compared with that of Nigeria. In addition, Nigeria have a stronger institutional framework than Ghana, this-really provide an evidence to show that enforcement of corporate governance practices in Nigeria seem to be better than Ghana. Generally, we find that corruption and bribery politics, economic and ownership structure influence effective corporate governance practice in each country. | www.arciournals.org https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9174-9233 www.ademic.edu | |||||
