Abstract
Description
This study aims to examine the effect of corporate governance and firm performance in Malaysia. The firm performance will be the dependent variable in this study and measured by return on assets (ROA). Corporate governance is the independent variable used in this research and consists of 5 important variables, which are CEO duality, board independence, board size, board meetings and audit committee size. Bursa Malaysia's 85 listed companies will be included in this research, analysed and tested by ordinary least squares (OLS). The findings support that only board size and audit committee size have a significant association with ROA (firm performance), while CEO duality, board independence and board meetings have an insignificant effect on ROA (firm performance). This study also provides significant benefits to various related parties like investors, company management, future researchers and more.
