Background of the Study

IT governance frameworks are structures and practices designed to ensure that an organization's information technology investments support its business objectives, mitigate risks, and comply with regulatory requirements (ISO/IEC 38500, 2023). In financial institutions such as banks, effective IT governance is essential for ensuring compliance with industry regulations, data security, and operational efficiency. As regulatory standards evolve and financial institutions face increased scrutiny, banks in Katsina State must adopt robust IT governance frameworks to enhance their compliance efforts.

IT governance frameworks like COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies), ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), and the ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System) have been designed to guide organizations in managing their IT resources and risks efficiently (Olanrewaju, 2024). These frameworks provide guidelines that can help banks streamline their IT operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and safeguard data integrity. However, despite the growing adoption of these frameworks, many banks in Nigeria, particularly in Katsina State, continue to face challenges related to full implementation and continuous improvement in governance practices.

This study aims to evaluate how IT governance frameworks influence the compliance levels of banks in Katsina State, considering both the regulatory and operational perspectives.

Statement of the Problem

Banks in Katsina State are facing significant challenges in implementing IT governance frameworks that fully comply with industry regulations and international standards. The absence of well-established governance structures can lead to inefficient management of IT resources, increased vulnerability to cyber risks, and potential non-compliance with financial regulations. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of different IT governance frameworks in improving compliance in banks in Katsina State, identifying barriers to successful implementation and the potential improvements that can be made.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To assess the impact of IT governance frameworks on regulatory compliance in banks in Katsina State.
  2. To identify the challenges faced by banks in implementing IT governance frameworks.
  3. To recommend strategies for enhancing IT governance practices in banks in Katsina State.

Research Questions

  1. How do IT governance frameworks impact the compliance levels of banks in Katsina State?
  2. What challenges do banks in Katsina State face when implementing IT governance frameworks?
  3. What strategies can be adopted by banks in Katsina State to improve their IT governance and ensure better compliance?

Research Hypotheses

  1. There is no significant relationship between the adoption of IT governance frameworks and compliance levels in banks in Katsina State.
  2. The challenges associated with IT governance framework implementation do not significantly affect compliance levels in banks in Katsina State.
  3. Strategies for enhancing IT governance do not significantly improve compliance in banks in Katsina State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study focuses on evaluating the impact of IT governance frameworks on compliance in banks within Katsina State, from 2023 to 2025. The main limitation is that the research will be confined to a select number of banks, which may not represent the entire banking sector in Nigeria.
