Background of the Study
Corporate governance failures refer to the inability of an organization to adhere to principles and practices that ensure accountability, fairness, and transparency in its operations. Such failures often result in financial mismanagement, fraud, and reputational damage. In Nigeria, corporate governance issues have been implicated in several high-profile corporate scandals, leading to the collapse of firms and significant economic losses.
In Kwara State, corporate governance challenges have affected businesses across various sectors, undermining investor confidence and economic growth. This study appraises corporate governance failures in Kwara State, examining their causes, consequences, and potential solutions.
