Background of the Study
Technology has become a pivotal tool in enhancing corporate governance compliance by improving transparency, accountability, and efficiency. Technological innovations such as automated reporting systems, digital audit tools, and blockchain technology provide firms with the capability to meet governance standards and regulatory requirements more effectively.
In Nigeria, the adoption of technology for corporate governance is gaining momentum, particularly in large commercial hubs like Kano State. With its thriving business environment, Kano provides a suitable context for examining how technology enhances corporate governance compliance. This study explores the role of technology in promoting governance compliance among firms in the state.
