Corporate governance and firm value: Bangladeshi manufacturing industry perspective

Abstract

Purpose The study aims to investigate the influence of corporate governance practices on enhancing firm value in manufacturing industries in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach The study sample consists of 131 companies from 10 manufacturing industries listed in Dhaka stock exchange (DSE). Using the multiple regression method, the study analyzed 1,193 firm-year observations from 2012 to 2021. Findings The outcome reveals that managerial ownership, foreign ownership, ownership concentration, board size, board independence, board diligence and auditor quality have a significant positive influence on firm value. In contrast, audit committee size has no significant influence on firm value. Originality/value The practical implications of the current study demonstrated that good corporate governance creates value and must be invigorated for the interest of all stakeholders. Policymakers should formulate specific guidelines regarding firms' ownership structure and audit quality issues.
