Abstract

The board of directors plays a crucial role in the success of any financial institution. They are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the company, overseeing management, and ensuring that the company is run in the best interests of its shareholders. This study examines the relationship between board characteristics such board size, board gender diversity, and board expertise and the performance of financial institutions in Malaysia. Using the secondary data collected from financial annual reports and quantitative methodologies, the research applies a multiple regression analysis to determine the significance of these board characteristics. The study's findings suggest that both board size and expertise have a negative significant correlation with financial performance, while gender diversity shows a more significant impact depending on the institution’s context. The results highlight the importance of structured boards in driving financial success in Malaysia’s competitive financial sector. Furthermore, the research provides recommendations for future studies to explore the long-term effects of board changes and diversity on financial outcomes. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on corporate governance, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in the financial industry.
