Abstract

This paper examines the importance of corporate governance structures for the banking industry. It finds that there exist significant differences between the governance structures of banks based on their size and that banks’ stock market returns are significantly influenced by board composition. It also finds that other governance mechanisms such as audit committee structure, takeover defense and executive compensation have no bearing on the returns to the banks’ stockholders. The results also show that banks of different sizes have differing corporate governance characteristics.
