Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics such as simple percentages, frequency counts and inferential statistics such as ANOVA. The results showed that out of the four key factors of corporate governance only the disclosure and transparency fully influences the level of compliance with effective corporate governance demonstrated by the firms under study and this applies to both financial/insurance firms and the manufacturing industries. ownership structure. Also there was no significant difference in the firms’ compliance with board composition between financial and manufacturing firms (t = 0.512, p > 0.05).
