Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between the size of the board of directors and the financial performance of publicly listed industrial property firms in Malaysia. The study examines secondary data from annual reports, financial statements, and corporate governance disclosures, focusing on key financial performance indicators such as Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). The study reveals significant correlations between board size and financial performance using correlation analysis and multiple regression. The findings provide valuable insights for regulators, investors, and business leaders, emphasizing the importance of refining corporate governance standards to ensure long-term financial success in Malaysia's industrial property sector.
