The Relationship

This research aims to investigate the relationship and impact between the board of directors criteria towards the company's performance. We hypothesized that the board of the directors criteria will increase the firm performance since board of the directors are viewed as one of the corporate governance mechanism that should be effective in monitoring and advice the management to protect the interest of shareholders. In this study, analysis of panel data has been used. The company's performance was measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q. Using 159 listed firms in Trading and Services Sector from 2007 to 2013, our study exhibit that the size of the board of directors (BODSIZE) had significant and positive relationship on ROA and Tobin's Q. This shows when BODSIZE increases, the performance of the company will also increase. Next, CEO duality and independent board of directors (PERBODIND) had no significant relationship with ROA and Tobin's Q. Overall, good corporate governance is important to improve the company’s performance. The implication of this study is that it may affect various parties and include investors, financial institutions, academia, corporations, and governments in making judgments, decisions or improvements to corporate governance and company performance.

This chapter aims to measure the relationship between the number of women in the board of directors and company performance in the listed companies in Bahrain Bourse. The study uses panel data where the data is collected from the investor's guide in Bahrain Bourse and the annual reports from the listed companies from 2013 to 2017. The sample of the study includes 39 listed companies; the independent variable is the number of women in the board of directors in each company, which was measured using dummy variables; and the dependent variable is the company performance, which was measured using two measurement models driven from previous studies: accounting measurement (return on assets) and market measurement (Tobin's Q). The study also utilizes three control variables in order to help measuring the relationship between the number of women in the board of directors and company performance. The study concludes that there is a positive correlation between the number of women in the board of directors and the company's ROA and Tobin's Q.

The Board Of Directors

This study aims to examine the association between firm performance and ownership structure. We collect the data from the annual reports of 60 random firms, which are listed in the Karachi stock exchange (KSE 100 Index), for a period of 5 years from 2007-2011. Firm performance is measured by using market and accounting based proxies, Tobin's Q, ROA, and ROE, respectively, while ownership structure is measured as a percentage of shares held by the Board of Directors. The findings reveal that ownership structure has a negative and significant association with firm performance (accounting-based proxy).

The Relationship

Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationship of promoter ownership and board structure with firm performance for Indian companies. Design/methodology/approach Corporate governance structures of 391 Indian companies out of CRISIL NSE Index (CNX) 500 companies listed on national stock exchange (NSE) have been studied for their impact on performance of companies. Panel data regression methodology has been used on data for five financial years from 2010 to 2014 for the selected companies. Performance measures considered are market-based measure (Tobin’s Q) and accounting-based measure (return on assets [ROA]). Findings The empirical findings indicate that market-based measure (Tobin’s Q) is more impacted by corporate governance than accounting-based measure. There is significant positive association between promoter ownership and firm performance. It is also indicated that the relationship between promoter ownership and firm performance is different at different levels of promoter ownership. Board size is found to be positively related to ROA; however, board independence is not found to be related to any of the performance measures. Research limitations/implications Limitations of the study are in terms of data methodology and possible omission of some variables. It is felt that endogeneity and reverse causality might be better addressed using simultaneous equation methodology. Originality/value The paper adds to the emerging body of literature on corporate governance performance relationship in Indian context using a reasonably wider and newer data set.

Corporate Governance Mechanism

Corporate Governance is a system that regulates and controls a company which expected to give and increase Company Value to investors. With the existence of Corporate Governance, it is expected that Company Performance will give a good influence on the company. One of the cases is after Indonesia went through a prolonged crisis since 1998, the repairing process in the companies took a long time and it is caused by the weakness of Corporate Governance application in the companies, which will affect the companies’ performance and decrease the companies’ values. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of the Corporate Governance mechanism on Company Value with Company Performance as an intervening variable. The case study used in this research is the companies included in IDX BUMN 20 Tahun 2020 list. The result of this study is that Independent Commissioner doesn’t affect values and Company Performance, the board of directors affects Company Value positively, the board of directors doesn’t affect Company Performance. The Audit Committee doesn’t affect the Company Value. The Audit Committee affects the Company Performance positively. The Company Performance is not capable to mediate the independent commissioner’s effect on Company Value. The Company Performance can mediate the effect of the Board of Directors on the Company Value, the Company Performance can’t mediate the effect of Audit Committee on the Company Value.

State Of Art

The corporate governance is a mechanism to protect investors in the markets around the world. This study analyses the board of directors’ specificities in the context of Portuguese Corporate Governance, and study the corporate governance effect of Portuguese listed firms on firm performance. The results show that the Latin Model (Two-Tier Model) is the most (least) adopted by Portuguese firms. The percentage of executive members is higher than that of non-executive members. In the year of 2014, women held only 9.5% of positions on board, which is very low. The results concerning the relationship between corporate governance and firms’ performance are not consensual. Although some studies find evidence of a positive relation between the two variables, others find no relationship. With this study, we contribute to the state of art of corporate governance in a country which investigation is still scarce.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between corporate governance and Shariah non-compliant risk (SNCR) that is unique for Islamic banks. The study examines the roles of Shariah committee along with the board of directors in mitigating SNCR. Design/methodology/approach The paper empirically investigates the implications of characteristics of board of directors and Shariah committee on the SNCR by using a sample of 29 full-fledge Islamic banks from Malaysia and Indonesia over the period 2007-2017. All data is hand collected from the Islamic banks' annual reports with the exception of country-level data collected from the World Bank database. Findings The results show that banks with a smaller board size and higher proportion of independent board members are likely to have lower SNCR. The findings also indicate that the financial expertise and higher frequency of Shariah committee meetings reduces the SNCR. Collectively, the analysis shows that banks with strong corporate governance environments reduce SNCR. Practical implications The findings of the study shed light on the relationship between corporate governance practice, Shariah committee characteristics and SNCR. The results can be used by different stakeholders such as policymakers, boards of directors and senior management of Islamic banks to mitigate SNCR. Originality/value This study extends the literature on corporate governance and risk-taking by including additional dimensions of governance and risk type. The corporate governance mechanism at the board level is complemented by including the Shariah committee characteristics and SNCR which is relevant to Islamic financial institutions is examined.

The Relationship

This paper examines the relationship between board characteristics and earnings management. Management of a firm may engage in earnings management for his own benefit. However, under proper corporate governance mechanism, the board of directors might be able to monitor the firm and prevent the management from engaging in earnings management. We find that when the board size is large, the higher the extent of earnings management. However, when there are more outside directors in the board, the extent of earnings management is lower. The effects of board characteristics on earnings management are significant only for group affiliation firms or non-electronic firms.

Purpose This study aims to elucidate the relationship between women's participation on the board of directors and the company's financial performance in a sample of 45 Colombian companies listed on the Colombia Stock Exchange (CSE) (Bolsa de Valores de Colombia). Design/methodology/approach Using 50,214 financial records of 45 companies listed on the CSE during 2008–2016, the authors performed panel data regressions to explore the relationship between the measures of gender diversity on boards and the impact on corporate financial performance. Findings The authors show that the participation and presence of at least one woman on the board of directors are positively associated with firm financial performance as measured by return on equity (ROE), but not as measured by Tobin’s Q. This second indicator is positively associated with firm financial performance when there are at least three female directors on boards of 10 or more individuals. Practical implications The findings also provide evidence supporting the development of managerial and organizational mechanisms that strengthen female presence at the highest level of governance. Originality/value The study demonstrates that female presence on boards has a positive impact on firms’ financial performance, but the degree of diversity impacts differently ROE and Tobin’s Q. These findings are based on a study of an emerging economy in Latin America, and data on similar economies are scarce.

Sustainability Report

This study examines the effect of good corporate governance and sustainability report on company performance. Good corporate governance is dependent on the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent commissioners, the size of the audit committee, institutional ownership, management ownership. Sustainability report is facilitated by economic, environmental and social aspect as well as disclosure index. While Company performance is generated by Return on Assets (ROA). This research was conducted on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2014-2018. The purposive sampling technique was used. Hypothesis testing was done by linear regression analysis. The results of testing the first variable showed that institutional ownership affects ROA and has a negative relationship direction. While the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent directors, the size of the audit committee, and management ownership have no effect on ROA. However, the result of the second variable showed that the disclosure of economic aspects affects ROA and has a positive relationship direction. While disclosure of environmental and social aspects does not affect ROA.

<p>This paper investigates the relationship between the board of directors' structure and firm performance and the value of Brazilian listed state-owned enterprises (SOEs), from 2002 to 2017, totaling 327 observations using an unbalanced panel data with fixed and random effects regressions. The evolution of corporate governance practices adopted by the boards is presented for this period, using a Board Structure Index (BSI). The results indicate a significant positive relation between the board's structure and firm performance, measured by ROE and ROA, and firm value, measured by Tobin's <em>q</em>. These findings are consistent with corporate governance literature, in the sense that the board's role of monitoring management reduces agency conflicts. The results also show an improvement in adopting corporate governance practice on Brazilian SOEs' boards over the last decade.</p>
