ACCOUNTING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY:
CASE STUDY OF A PUBLIC SECTOR BANK IN SRI LANKA
ABSTRACT
This study critically examines the role of accounting in corporate governance in a public sector

governance practices in banks in a developing country.
Keywords: Role of Accounting; Corporate Governance; Public Sector Banks; Sri Lanka
