ACCOUNTANTS’ PERCEPTION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AUDIT COMMITTEE OF NIGERIAN LISTED DEPOSIT MONEY BANKS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In response to worldwide corporate scandals, there was a significant increased regulatory demand for accountability in the world business environment. This, according to Sengur, (2007) has in the last decade, brought organizations’ risk management and internal control systems into the public policy debates on corporate governance. Originated in the 19th century, corporate governance came up in response to the separation of ownership   and control,   following   the   formation   of   common   stock companies   (Berle   &   Means, 1932) as cited in Tankiso (2008).   The separation between ownership and control resulted in the agency relationship which refers to the situation where shareholders own the firm while managers control it.

Managers mostly do not always pursue the best interests of the company, but rather their own interests.   This   situation   leads   to   the   agency   problem,   which   forms   the theoretical framework for current corporate governance practices.

The existence of the agency problem results from the owner’s inability to run the company on a day-to-day basis. Managers are hired to manage the affairs of company owners, with the instruction of pursuing the owners’ objective (Tankiso, 2008).  Deviation from these objectives and instructions results in the agency problem.

Good  corporate  governance  is  used  as  a  measure  for  solving  the  agency  problem, where the board of directors is regarded as the focal point of the governance system and therefore  is  accountable to  shareholders  and  responsible  for  the  performance  and  the affairs of the company (IOD 2002). The practice of corporate governance is a combination of a number of mechanisms, amongst which is the audit committee.  Audit committee effectiveness has been a focus of international corporate governance reform for many years. Kalbers and Fogarty (1998) asserted that the genesis of audit committees as a part of corporate governance structure is rooted in the reactions to the abuse of power by corporate management which led to financial scandals, financial reporting defalcations, and unjustifiable manipulation of accounting policies.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

Deposit money banks (companies) around the world have been required by their various corporate regulations to have audit committee which primarily is to ensure the integrity of financial reporting and the audit process by ensuring that the external auditor is independent, objective and does a thorough job. An effective audit committee practice is for good corporate governance. It ensures that the statement of affairs presented by the agent is accurate or rather that the report can be trusted and also to ensure that the performance reported is aligned with the goals of the principal. A lot of research has been carried out in the field Deposit money banks looking at different they can governed and managed to ensure that the interest of all stakeholders, most especially shareholders are been protected.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
Very Good
