Background of the Study

Corporate governance is a critical framework for ensuring organizational accountability, transparency, and risk management. Effective governance mechanisms are essential for identifying and mitigating financial risks, thereby preventing financial crises.

This study investigates the role of corporate governance in preventing financial crises in the state, highlighting best practices and areas for improvement.
