Liquidity risk, Corporate governance and financial performance: a case study of selected banks in Ghana
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the relationship between liquidity risk, corporate governance, and financial performance in Ghana's banking sector. Using a longitudinal dataset from 2018 to 2022, which includes data from 14 commercial banks, the research investigates the impact of liquidity management practices and governance structures, specifically audit quality and board size on banks' financial performance. The findings indicate that audit fees have a statistically significant negative relationship with return on assets (ROA), while the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) positively correlates with ROA. This study recommends enhancing corporate governance practices to improve financial performance and strengthen the banking sector's stability.
