Background of the Study
Financial mismanagement poses a significant threat to the stability and integrity of the banking sector. It involves practices such as misappropriation of funds, fraudulent reporting, and regulatory non-compliance, which undermine corporate governance and stakeholder trust (Adebayo & Musa, 2024).
In Kaduna State, the banking industry faces persistent challenges related to financial mismanagement, despite regulatory measures aimed at promoting good governance. Effective corporate governance is essential for addressing these issues, ensuring accountability, and maintaining financial stability (Oluwaseun & Bello, 2025).
This study investigates the interplay between financial mismanagement and corporate governance in Nigerian banks in Kaduna State, highlighting areas for improvement and recommending solutions.
