The Firm is actively involved in advising clients in several sectors of industry on principles and best practices in corporate governance. The Companies and Allied Matters Act remains the authoritative source of our corporate governance doctrines, whilst due recourse is made to the SEC and CBN Codes of Corporate Governance. We also diligently compare international standards and codes including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (US), the Combined Code (UK), The King Code (South Africa), OECD Corporate Governance Principles, and the Reports on Observance of Standards and Codes (World Bank Corporate Governance Group principles).
