Corporate Board Attributes, Bank Audit Quality, Bank Performance and Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria
Abstract
Nigeria Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) are the life wires of the Nigerian economy as their contribution to the development and growth cannot be overemphasized; This paper examines corporate board attributes (CBR), bank audit quality (BAQ), and bank performance and DMBs with the aid of an ex-post facto design and sample of listed DMBs as at 2019. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in the analysis with the use of statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS, version 23.0). The study revealed that bank board size (BBS) has a negative but significant bank board composition (BBC) and Bank Chief Executive Officer Duality (CEOD) has a positive and significant impact on DMBs and concluded that the implications of CBR (BBC, BBS, and CEOD) are important indicators of BAQ in evaluating the performance of DMBs. One key recommendation was that the position of the CEO as the chairman of the board should be discouraged among DMBs, and the board size should be kept relatively large so as to reach board conclusions easily and fast, also, to enable and strengthen quality audit among DMBs.
