Governance Practices And Their Effect On Bank Performance: A Study Of Saudi Arabian Banking Sector
Authors : Charchafa Ilyes . Kimouche Bilal .
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of corporate governance mechanisms like board characteristics (size, independence, CEO duality) and audit committee attributes (independence, size, meeting frequency) on the profitability (ROA and ROE) of 12 listed Saudi banks from 2013-2019. Using multivariate regression on 61 bank-year observations, larger board in size is found to exhibit a strong positive correlation with ROA and ROE, suggesting better decision-making and oversight. However, board independence, CEO duality, and audit committee characteristics show no significant links to performance, contradicting theory. The results highlight the importance of optimal board composition, while indicating adherence to certain governance practices may not directly boost profitability in the Saudi banking context.
