Abstract

Good corporate governance is linked to the corporate performance of corporations. This study seeks to determine if corporate governance characteristics implemented improved company performance and to determine if a positive or negative relationship exists. Multiple Regression Analysis was applied to determine whether certain corporate governance characteristics relate to company performance in Malaysia. Company performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Total Shareholder Return (TSR). Data was collected from Bursa Malaysia from 2012 to 2015. In conclusion, there is no evidence of any significant relationship between corporate governance characteristics and company performance measures.

Keywords: Corporate Governance, Board Characteristics, Total Shareholder Return, Return on Assets.
