Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of independent directors, and board meetings on the firm performance of non-financial companies. The paper statistically calculates this relationship between the influence of independent members, board meetings, and performance for the period 2017-2020 using the perspectives of different theories and data collected on the composition of the board of directors in the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Bursa Malaysia. The results showed a strong and unfavorable relationship between the influence of independent directors, Tobin Q, and ROA. Results between the effect of board meeting frequency and fi performance measures (Tobin's Q, ROA) also revealed a similar inverse association.
