CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background
of the Study
Corporate
Governance is a number of process, customers, policies, laws and institutions
which impacts on the way a company is controlled. An important theme of
corporate governance is the nature and extent of accountability of people in
the business and mechanisms that try to decrease the principal agent problem
(Wikipedia, 2011).
Corporate
Governance also includes the relationships among the many stakeholders involved
and the goals for which the corporation is governed. In contemporary business
corporations, the main external stakeholder groups are shareholders, debt
holders, trade creditors, suppliers, customer and communities affected by the
corporation’s activities. Informal stakeholders are the board of directors,
executives and other employees. It guarantees that an enterprise is directed
and controlled in a responsible, professional, and transparent manner with the
purpose of safeguarding its long-tem success it is intended to increase the
confidence of shareholders and capital market investors.
The
World Bank (2009) states that corporate governance comprises two mechanisms,
internal and external corporate governance. Internal corporate governance,
giving priority to shareholder’s interest, operated on the board of directors
to monitor top management. On the other hand, external corporate governance
monitors and controls manager’s behaviors by means of external regulations and
force, in which many parties, such as suppliers, debtors (stakeholders),
accountants, lawyers, and providers of credit and investment bank.
In
the past, so many corporate organizations have been caught of getting involved
in unethical practices, for example the discovery of financial scam by the
Central Bank of Nigeria after the consolidation exercise, involving seven top
bank executives in Nigeria, which puts the credibility of their corporate image
under suspicion, which further shocking investors confidence. Consequently,
corporate governance mechanism has been a crucial issue discussed again.
It
is against this background that the researcher see the subject matter;
corporate governance and its impact on the management of Forte Oil Nigeria Plc,
Kaduna as an
issue worthy of being investigated.

researches into the subject has brought to light the poor governance of so many
companies with indebted accounts in Nigeria economy. Their accounting
systems did not reflect the companies financial status. A typical example is the
financial scam of Oceanic and Intercontinental Bank after the consolidation.
Most management of such outfits were not accountable to stakeholders of the
