Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the connection between corporate governance and working capital efficiency of manufacturing companies in India by providing evidence on the composition of board and its leadership structure on working capital efficiency. This article covers the top companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) from 2014 to 2019 (498 firm–year observations). The study utilizes panel econometric methodology based on Generalized Least Squares (GLS) to check the interplay between corporate governance and working capital efficiency. The empirical results produce that audit committee meetings are very effective in the efficient management of working capital. Surprisingly, the authors found that CEO duality does have a significant impact on working capital efficiency. Overall, the findings highlight that corporate governance is an effective tool for monitoring working capital efficiently. The conclusion of this study may be utilized to offer management information if their working capital decisions are efficient or not and how they could increase the scope of their working capital decisions in light of corporate governance.
