Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aims to examine the influence of corporate governance (CG) practices on the financial performance (FP) of the financial institution in Nepal, as well as the mediation effect of commitment to effective CG within the relationship. The structured questionnaire was used to administer the cross-sectional survey with 386 key stakeholders. The survey followed a convenience sampling technique. The study analyzes the hypothesized relationship among variables by using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show that CG practices, including board responsibility and accountability, and equitable treatment of shareholders, have a direct effect; however, disclosure and transparency have only an indirect effect on improving financial performance. The study found the mediating role of commitment to effective CG in the association between CG and FP. The study offers valuable insights for regulators and practitioners regarding how to improve performance through strengthening the CG practices and commitment.
