The more diverse the background among board members, the more far-ranging is a firm’s
knowledge base, the spectrum of perspectives, the access to a broad set of resources and
the better the understanding of business situations in the marketplace. In turn, this can
lead to increased financial firm performance. Diversity leads to more creativity, improved
decision-making quality and more effective solutions, since group thinking is reduced.
This is due to the creation of a natural conflict of different perspectives which hinders to
reach quick consensus because beliefs and attitudes do vary systematically with
communication which can impact the decision-making process and board outcomes
(Bantel and johnson). Moreover, having a too diverse board can have reverse effects as
well. Excessive heterogeneity among board members often leads to competitive behavior
and stretched decision making because of contrary opinions and not sharing a common

suggests that diversity improves the decision-making process but also might negatively

The theorists found out that the board size plays a pivot role in the corporate
governance as the smaller the size the more integrated they will be and the more the
cooperation the better the results. So all the theorists conclude that the smaller size of a
board is best for the successful running of a corporate governance. The bigger the size
will be the more there will be differences and those differences will lead to the poor
working of the firm and once the firm gets out of track it will be very difficult to get it
back on track. So board size should be kept smaller if we want to have the best output

Among different suggestions of the code is that the Audit Committee ought to
contain at most one official and no less than three non-official chiefs. Individuals from
that board of trustees must have the capacity to peruse and comprehend money related
reports. There is a proposal that the post of CEO ought to be isolated from that of the
seat, except if it is completely essential for the two to be consolidated, in which case the
code suggests that a solid, non-official chief should fill in as bad habit seat of the board.
incorporate the proposal that non-official chiefs should seat the review panel,
These arrangements likewise incorporate a suggestion that gives that the non-

evaluators' association with the association. Review councils likewise guarantee that
review results are publicized and any suggested enhancements or remedial activities are
tended to or settled. Review boards of trustees can serve a similar capacity in secretly

In a perfect world, interior review should report practically to the board or review

support of inside review is sustained by connections based on shared trust and visit and

corporate governance practices through hazard based reviews that give confirmation and

probably going to grow in zones, for example, hazard governance, culture and conduct,

additionally contended that there were various useful troubles in actualizing and

organizations was the absence of applicable skill in Pakistan to authorize the Code's

and had "no utility to stakeholders." Be that as it may, regardless of these reactions, the

Conclusion When an investor feels himself more secure, he will invest more. For
making the firm more profitable, one should protect the rights of the investor.
This can only be happen if the firm has strong corporate governance structure. In
this case, banking sector in Pakistan was influenced by the government authorities
with weak governance which results in a low performing sector, but after making
the necessary changes in the governance structure the very sector evident a
phenomenon growth and high returns in it. We believe there are still some gaps
left in the governance structure of the banking sector in Pakistan, but these gaps
will fill up by the Islamic Banks due to their more reliable governance structure
( Jensen, M. C., & Meckling, W. (1976).
The study of more than sixty banks from four improving countries of South East Europe
to investigate the effect of bank governance, possession structure and other particular
elements on bank profiability. Which reveals that the normal board is smaller and less
autonomous than the normal leading group of financial and non-finance firms in both
rising and raised economies.
we find negative and significant relationship between BS and bank profitability which
may be due to the fact that large majority of banks in our sample do not have nominating
committee, nor predefined succession policy, so they may appoint directors that do not
have necessary experience, skills and expertise. In addition, BS significantly negatively
influence bank profitability before and after the occurrence of financial crisis, which
could be due to the ability of smaller boards to make decisions faster in periods of
extreme uncertainty. Like we expected, the proportion of independent directors on the
board is negatively related to bank profitability. However, this result is statistically
insignificantly. It clarifieds the preference of forein banks to expand proprietorship stake
to be in command of over the bank doings in the states of frail investor assurance. we
discover negative and huge relationship in the middle of BS and bank productivity which
may be because of the way that substantial greater part of banks in our specimen don't
have naming panel, nor predefined progression approach, so they may choose executives
that don't have fundamental experience, aptitudes and mastery. Moreover, BS essentially
adversely impact bank productivity prior and then afterward the event of finance related
emergency, which could be because of the capacity of littler sheets to settle on choices
speedier in times of amazing instability. Like we expected, the extent of autonomous
executives on the board is adversely identified with bank profit ( Kaplan, S. N., &
Minton, B. A. (1994).
This result can be explained with argument that the board has no power in countries with
weak protection of investors, since the board is at the mercy of the dominant shareholder
who is able to directly control bank activities and impose their own interests. In line with
some previous studies and like we expected, ownership concentration ratio is negatively,
but weakly related with bank profitability. This result is consistent with the argument that
ownership concentration in transition economies may provide negative effect on
performance because inadequate protection of minority shareholders may provide
majority shareholder with a possibility to expropriate substantial amounts of corporate
wealth. We also find that privately held domestic banks outperform both state-owned and
foreign banks. This result is surprising given many previous studies. This may be due to
the fact that privately held domestic banks in our sample have much lower ownership
concentration ratio and smaller boards, as factors negatively related with bank
profitability, than state-owned and foreign banks. Finally, we find that large and well
capitalised banks are more profitable than smaller and less capitalised banks
( Kapopoulos, P., & Lazaretou, S. (2007).
((On the other hand, this outcome is measurably unimportantly. This outcome can be
clarified with contention that the board has no force in nations with frail assurance of
investors, since the board is helpless before the predominant shareholder who has the
capacity specifically control bank exercises and force their own advantage. In
accordance with some past studies and like we expected, proprietorship focus proportion
is adversely, yet feebly related with bank gainfulness. This outcome is predictable with
the contention that possession fixation experiencing significant change economies may
give negative impact on execution on the grounds that lacking security of minority
shareholders may give greater part shareholder a plausibility to confiscate generous
measures of corporate riches. We likewise find that secretly held residential banks beat
both state-claimed and remote banks. This outcome is amazing given numerous past
studies. This may be because of the way that secretly held household banks in our
example have much lower proprietorship focus proportion and littler sheets, as variables
adversely related with bank profit, than state-claimed and remote banks. At last, we find
that vast and all around promoted banks are more productive than littler and less
promoted banks ( Karpoff, J.M., 2001.
