CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The cradle of business organisation revealed that most business set ups were managed by their owners. The ownership manager was the financial provider and contribution to the enterprise, but with the advent of large scale production and development in scope and in scale of business, a huge capital beyond that affordable by the sole proprietor or family was needed.
Consequently, contributors, hereafter called shareholds were required to raise the fund for the business.
The invitation of these shareholders led to the separation of the owner managers from the management of the business. This is because all of them cannot, be the directors of the business at the same time. As a result of this the management of the business was entrusted in the hands of people who have no financial claims to the business. The law denies the shareholders access to the books of account of the company, depriving them of their rights to be kept abreast of the director’s performance. The shareholders became skeptical about this. Thus, the need of effective surveillance over the activities of the non-owner managing directors.
