enterprise with a view to enable the appointed auditor to report whether the

BACKGROUND OF THE CASE-STUDY
The corporate affairs commision (CAC) was
established and incorporated in nigeria by section 1. of CAMA 1990 as a acrognm
of companies and Allied matters act
19090 to replaced the former company registry. Before this Act, the company
registry was part of theministry of trade and commerce. Experience showed that
this arrangement was not effective since adequate time and funds were not
directed towards an essential area of the nation is economy like company
formation, registration, management and administration.
Moreover, the commission was established as a
corporate body, with perpetual succession and a common seal, capable name and
acquiring, holding and disposal of all moveable and immoveable for the purpose
of its function.
Meanwhile, the commission has its headquarters in
Abuja the federal capital terriroty (FCT) and branches or subsidaries spread
all over the federation according to section 1 (3) of CAMA 1990. The
decentralization of power no doubt reduces the handship an expense of reaching
the former company registry under the former framework.
