Abstract
This paper reviews the adverse impact of non-compliance with corporate governance principles on companies. The author recognizes that primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with the code of corporate governance lies with the Board of Directors, but that other players such as the regulatory authorities, Shareholders, Shareholders’ Associations, Company Secretaries and other Stakeholders have important role to play also. The central focus of this paper therefore is to investigate the functions of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) in monitoring compliance with the new code of corporate governance in Nigeria .
