The purpose of this study is to examine the disclosure intensity of risk management practices of listed financial service firms in Nigeria after the Corporate Governance (CG) reform in the year 2011. In the quest to achieve the objective of this study, content analysis of the annual reports of 45 sampled firms spanning from the year 2012 to 2015 was carried out. The study finds that there is a significant disclosure of risk management practices of the sampled firms, especially in relation to their risk management committee structure and its responsibility, risk management policies, audit committee availability and function, and capital/market risks. The sample firms remain reluctant in the disclosure of their environmental risk and operational risks. Moreover, there is no significant difference between banks and nonbanks in the disclosure of their risk management practices, signifying a strong adherence to the 2011 reformed CG code in Nigeria.

This study examines the relationship between board characteristics, risk management disclosure and performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Data were obtained from the annual accounts and reports of the 15 DMBs listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) covering 2012 to 2016. For the purpose of testing the relationship between the dependent variable (return on asset [ROA]) and the explanatory variables in this study, Random Effect (RE) regression model was employed. The study finds that board size, board composition, and risk management disclosure have a significant positive effect on ROA, whereas, board meeting has a significant negative influence on ROA. Moreover, the study documents that board expertise has a negative, but an insignificant association with ROA. The finding of this study is essential to both corporate authorities and other corporate stakeholders in Nigeria. The study concludes by providing an agenda for future research in a similar domain.
