INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study
The background of organizational governance dates back to the 19th century when state corporation laws enhanced the rights of organizational boards without unanimous consent of shareholders. They did it in exchange for statutory benefits such as appraisal rights in order to make organizational governance more efficient. Recently, organizational governance becomes a hot topic among a wide spectrum of people, government, industry operation, directors, investors, shareholders, academics and international organization to least but a few. Today’s world has seen that organization transparency, financial disclosure, independency, board size, board diversity and among others is the corner stone of good organizational governance practices. These variables are in the main agenda of most meetings and conferences worldwide including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Organizational governance is a number of process, policies, law, and institutions which impact on the way a company is controlled. An important theme of organizational government is the nature and extent of accountability of people in the business and mechanism that try to decrease the principles agent problems.

The substance co-ordination of behavior can be achieved in numerous ways. The manager can verify directly that the tasks are performed on the way he thinks which is suitable. The issue of organizational governance is thereby complete with completed issues connecting ideal institutional mechanism effective monitoring and balancing of competing interest of stakeholders (both internal and external) to the organizational governance structure (Williamson, 2002). Today, organizational governance is complex and mosaic consisting of law registration.

Currently, many country leaders all over the world has increased concern over organizational governance due to the increase of reported cases of frauds, inside trading agency conflict among other corporations.

This ensures maintaining shareholders rights through strengthening of the organization financial performance. One of the main reasons that led to major companies collapse is department complicity, weak structures, weak control and follow-up units, and lack of disclosure and transparency required to enhance the entity of the organization and main stakeholders, which led to deficiencies in organizations financial performance.
Organizations cannot function well if sound organizational governance is not in place. As a result, every organization now has strong interest in ensuring that there is effective organizational governance at every organization in an increasing open environment. Organizational governance therefore refers to the processes and structures by which the business and affairs of institutions are directed and managed in order to improve long-term shareholders values by enhancing organizational performance and accountability while taking into account the interest of other shareholders.
