Background of the Study

The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has witnessed exponential growth, becoming a critical component of the nation’s economy. However, the sector faces challenges such as regulatory lapses, consumer complaints, and non-compliance with industry standards (NCC, 2023). Regulatory audits are designed to address these issues by assessing compliance with legal, operational, and financial regulations.

Airtel Nigeria, one of the leading telecommunications companies in the country, operates in a highly regulated environment governed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). Regulatory audits are essential for ensuring adherence to licensing conditions, spectrum usage policies, and quality of service standards. This study explores how regulatory audits have contributed to improving compliance in Airtel Nigeria, identifying challenges and opportunities for enhancing audit practices in the telecommunications industry.

Statement of the Problem

Non-compliance in the telecommunications sector has led to issues such as service disruptions, customer dissatisfaction, and penalties. Despite the critical role of regulatory audits, challenges such as limited enforcement mechanisms, resource constraints, and resistance from operators undermine their effectiveness.

This study investigates the role of regulatory audits in improving compliance within Nigeria's telecommunications industry, focusing on Airtel Nigeria as a case study.
