Background of the Study
Business intelligence (BI) refers to the technologies, applications, and practices used to collect, integrate, and analyze business information to support decision-making. In the context of corporate governance, BI provides tools for monitoring compliance, evaluating risks, and ensuring transparency in decision-making processes (Adamu & Salisu, 2023).
Banks in Katsina State operate in a highly regulated industry where robust corporate governance is essential for building trust, ensuring accountability, and managing risks. The use of BI tools enables banks to enhance governance practices by providing accurate and timely information to stakeholders, thereby improving decision-making and compliance (Ibrahim & Musa, 2024).
This study evaluates the role of BI in improving corporate governance among banks in Katsina State, focusing on its adoption, benefits, and challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Weak corporate governance has been identified as a major challenge in the Nigerian banking sector, contributing to financial irregularities, loss of trust, and regulatory penalties. While BI offers a solution by enhancing transparency and decision-making, its adoption in banks in Katsina State is limited due to high implementation costs, resistance to change, and inadequate technical expertise (Ahmed & Bello, 2023).
Existing research on BI in corporate governance has largely focused on developed economies, with limited attention to its application in the Nigerian banking context. This study seeks to address this gap by examining how BI tools are used to improve corporate governance in banks in Katsina State.
Objectives of the Study
-
To assess the adoption of BI tools for corporate governance in banks in Katsina State.
-
To evaluate the impact of BI tools on transparency, accountability, and decision-making in corporate governance.
-
To propose strategies for enhancing the adoption of BI tools in corporate governance.
Research Questions
-
How widely are BI tools adopted for corporate governance in banks in Katsina State?
-
What impact do BI tools have on transparency, accountability, and decision-making in corporate governance?
-
What strategies can enhance the adoption of BI tools in corporate governance?
Research Hypotheses
-
BI tools have no significant effect on transparency in corporate governance.
-
The adoption of BI tools does not significantly improve accountability in banks.
-
Strategies for enhancing the adoption of BI tools have no significant impact on governance outcomes.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on banks in Katsina State, assessing the adoption and impact of BI tools in corporate governance. Limitations include differences in BI tool usage, access to governance-related data, and biases in responses from banking officials.
