The objective of this study is to assess the quality of corporate governance practices of Angolan companies. The research for this study included a review of current literature on corporate governance and an analysis on the development of corporate governance in Angola. However, the study revealed that although the Angolan regulators have made considerable efforts in recent years to improve corporate governance in Angolan companies, there remain specific to the Angolan economy factors that place high barriers to efficiency of some corporate governance mechanisms in the Angolan context, particularly the strong presence of the state in the business sector and the lack of independence of boards of directors. The awareness of these problems is an important step to take so that they can achieve efficiency levels that contribute significantly to raising the nobility of the Angolan economy.
