Background of the Study
Regulatory bodies play a significant role in ensuring corporate governance compliance, particularly in regions like Sokoto State, where governance challenges persist. Institutions such as the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforce standards to promote accountability and transparency in organizations (Aliyu & Musa, 2023).
Effective corporate governance practices ensure that businesses operate ethically, protect stakeholders, and maintain financial stability. Regulatory oversight is essential in fostering compliance, but its impact varies across regions and industries (Adigun & Bello, 2024). This study examines the influence of regulatory bodies on governance compliance in Sokoto State.
Statement of the Problem
Corporate governance compliance in Sokoto State is hindered by factors such as weak enforcement, limited awareness, and resistance from organizations. These issues undermine regulatory bodies' effectiveness and compromise governance standards (Ibrahim & Yusuf, 2023).
Although previous studies address regulatory impacts at the national level, there is a lack of focus on Sokoto State's unique challenges. This study seeks to address this research gap.
