Abstract: A corporate charter is considered an extremely important document to any organization since it basically addresses the purpose, objective, structure and scope of the organization. Changing the charter is usually associated with business process re-engineering, change management, and more likely education and training. Those activities drive the organization to consume its precious resources. Hence, we examine the impact of governance factors on charter change. Findings indicate that there are four variables (limit ability to amend by laws, limit ability to act by written consent, vote % to amend by laws and vote % for written consent) that could affect corporate charter. Results and implications are discussed.

Keywords:Governance and corporate charter.

Abstract: The study investigates the effects of government fiscal deficits on domestic private investment in Nigeria for the period 1970-2013. Fiscal deficits have been persistent for the entire period except 1971, 1973-1975, 1979, 1995 and 1996. The technique of Augmented Dickey- Fuller (ADF) and Philips –Peron (P-P) were used to establish unit root. Johansen co integration technique was used to confirm that the variables have long run relationship. After these preliminary statistical tests, Ordinary Least Squares estimates reveal that government fiscal deficits have negative and insignificant effect on domestic private investment.
