Abstract: This study examined the relationship between audit committee and other corporate governance variables in Nigerian banks. Both primary and secondary data were used. While the Primary data was used to test the hypotheses using Chi-square and Student-t tests, the secondary data was subjected to multiple regression analysis. The study found that the banks had significantly complied with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Code of Corporate Governance 2006 regarding the composition of audit committees and that a significant positive relationship exists between audit committee activity and the proportion of non-executive directors on the board. Low monitoring activity of the audit committee was found to have significantly contributed to the distress of some banks in Nigeria between 2009 and 2010. The study recommends the harmonization of some sections of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Code of Corporate Governance 2011, with those of CBN code 2006.
