Research aims: This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic corporate governance mechanisms on the performance of Islamic banks. Besides, it also analyzes the effect of risk profiles, especially those that are directly related to bank financing, on the performance of Islamic Banks.Design/Methodology/Approach: Sharia banks that become the objects are Sharia Commercial Banks (SCB) and Sharia Business Units of Conventional Banks (SBU). This study uses data from 20 sharia banks (11 SCB and 9 SBU). The analytical tool used in this study is panel data regression.Research findings: The results show that the meeting frequency of the Board of Commissioners, Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), Financing to Deposits Ratio (FDR), and bank size have a significant positive effect on the performance of Islamic banks. Non-Performing Financing (NPF) has a significant negative effect on the performance of Islamic banks.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study utilized Stakeholders theory, Maqoshid Sharia concept, and corporate governance to investigate the role of Islamic corporate governance mechanisms and risk management on sharia Banks performance.Practitioner/Policy implication: The implication of this study is that SSB activities had a direct and robust influence on Islamic Banks, which have relatively larger assets. Hence, the task of the Sharia Supervisory Board should not be limited to only monitoring the conformity of transactions with sharia but also providing input so that banks can increase their profits in line with sharia.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation in this study is the number of corporate governance variables that was limited.

This study investigates the efficiency of the Shariah supervisory board as a corporate governance mechanism in Islamic banks. The authors mainly seek to examine the effect of the Shariah board's composition (size and academic background of its members) on the performance of Islamic banks. They also try to highlight the transmission channels explaining this effect, and compare the efficiency of the Shariah board with that of traditional corporate governance mechanisms, namely the board of directors. The empirical investigation is based on a sample of 72 Islamic banks from 19 countries. Estimation results suggest that the Shariah board positively affects the Islamic banks performance through the number of Islamic Shariah scholars. This effect is mainly due to the size and cost transmission channels. These results are robust to different performance measures. On the other hand, results show that the board of directors' size produces a positive effect on a bank's performance, offering evidence for complementarity between traditional and Islamic governance mechanisms.

The lessons from the 2008 global financial crisis show that excessive risk taking and governance failures contribute to the failure of several banks. As a result, the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and risk taking has been the subject of many studies. However, extant studies report inconclusive results. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between CEO power and bank risk in the UAE using data over the period of 2015–2018 and a sample of 19 UAE banks. The study uses a Pearson pairwise correlation to analyze the relationship between CEO power and bank risk. In addition, a two-tailed t-test is used to examine the differences between conventional and Islamic banks in terms of CEO power and risk-taking. The results of the study show that CEO power measured using CEO duality and CEO tenure reduces risk. Furthermore, the paper indicates that larger boards and higher CEO ownership tend to increase risk. The study also reports that conventional banks have higher return variability, larger boards and powerful CEOs than Islamic banks. However, Islamic banks tend to have higher non-performing finances than conventional banks. The study provides important insights on the relationship between CEO power and bank risk and concurs with earlier studies. The findings can be of interest to policy makers and can be used as input data for the development of corporate governance mechanisms. Shareholders can also use the survey results as input when appointing a CEO for their banks.

To be able to realize the business goals and social objectives of Islamic banks need to be supported by Islamic corporate governance mechanisms that protect the rights and interests of all stakeholders who are subject to the rules of sharia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Islamic corporate governance mechanism variables on the performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia based on the maqashid sharia index. The results showed that the number and education of the Sharia Supervisory Board had a significant effect. While concurrent positions and meetings of the Sharia Supervisory Board have no significant effect on the performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia based on the maqashid sharia index.

Relationships between corporate governance mechanisms and the financial performance of Islamic banks have been researched extensively in prior empirical research. However, the results are mixed, mainly due to the heterogeneity of the samples used for the empirical investigations. This paper reports the results of a meta-analysis of the existing literature on governance mechanisms from which a framework was developed to guide the constructions of governance indices. The results showed that Islamic banks banks tend to have better financial performance if there was (1) a higher proportion of independent directors on the board; (2) the Shari”ah Supervisory Board was large and consisted of top scholars; (3)numerous directors; (4) the CEO was chairman; (5) auditing was enforced and (6) ownership structure was dispersed, reducing shareholding of directors, foreigners and institutional investors, while increasing family and governments’ shareholding. Managers’ shareholding was insignificant.

The purpose of this thesis is to understand the effects of corporate governance mechanisms on the potential for bankruptcy. This study is done by utilizing the linear regression fixed effect vector decomposition model on 30 listed firms from the consumer goods sector of Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2010-2012 periods. The results of the study indicate that: the board of commissioners’ independence and size of the commissioners’ board pose a significant positive effect on the potential for bankruptcy; the presence of an audit committee and the presence of a nomination and remuneration committee pose a significant negative effect and institutional ownership and managerial ownership do not significantly affect the potential for bankruptcy.
