ABSTRACT
This study examines THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTANTS IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, focusing on improving financial oversight, ensuring compliance with global standards, and mitigating risks. A survey methodology was chosen to collect data from a large, diverse group of professionals. Using Taro Yamane's formula, the sample size was calculated to be 420 corporate accountants from Port Harcourt, providing a statistically significant representation. Port Harcourt was selected for its dynamic corporate sector and international business presence. The reliability coefficient score of the survey instrument was 0.88. Findings suggest that international accountants play a crucial role in enhancing corporate governance through improved financial reporting, adherence to international standards, and effective risk management. The study recommends strengthening professional development programs and fostering global collaborations to support accountants in these roles.
