This paper aims to examine the impact of corporate governance disclosure on firm performance, board composition, and company size. The study used secondary data from companies listed on the Nigerian stock exchange and examined 31 companies across 5 sectors from 2010-2013. This study used panel regression techniques and the results indicate that asset turnover, board composition and number of employees are all significantly related to corporate governance disclosure.
