Effect of Corporate Governance on Profitability of Quoted Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The study determined the extent corporate governance affect profitability of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria using board size, board independence, directors’ shares and profit margin of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Only secondary data was used for the successful execution of this research work. Three hypotheses were formulated for this study while data extracted through the financial statement was tested with the Regression statistical tool using the E view 9. The outcome of the analyses carried out showed that board size has negative but significant effect on net profit margin of manufacturing companies quoted on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. It is therefore recommended that board size should be relative to the firm’s business need, scope and complexity. Since no two firms are exactly alike in all ramifications, it is important that an appropriate size be understood to be a function of each firm’s circumstances. Setting arbitrary board size benchmarks will therefore be counterproductive. Okoye, Pius V. C. | Ugwu, Scholastica C.
