Abstract
The aim of the study was to understand the effect of the corporate governance variables on bank’s financial performance. Moreover, the study focused on evaluating the relationship between bank’s financial performance and board characteristic in Ghana along with determining the moderating role of firm controls and its strategy in the relationship between board bank’s financial performance and board characteristics in Ghana. The study employed a quantitative approach. The study targeted four hundred (400) management associates using purposive sampling technique, via structured questionnaire for the quantitative analysis. The target respondents were management of commercial banks in Ghana. The study revealed a positive relationship amid financial performance and board characteristics such as board size and composition whereas firm control moderates the positive relationship between financial performance and board size, composition, foreign ownership. Moreover, the study reveals a need for establishing a connection between top managerial staff and the executives. Founded on actualizing, the expansion of money related execution will lead to greater corporate administration. This is increasing the proportion of non-executive directors on the board, which can bring more independence and objectivity to decision-making elated to strategy and governance.
