Title : Impact of corporate governance on social information and disclosure of Nepalese commercial banks Material Type: printed text Authors: Amir Man Shrestha, Author General note: Including bibilography Languages : English Descriptors: Banks

Corporate governance
NepalKeywords: 'corporate governance corporations finance banks banks and banking commercial banks Nepal' Class number: 658.42 Abstract: Corporate governance is an important concept which has been put into practice because of the needs of corporations to constantly be effective and perform better; and it is this need that has made corporate governance so necessary today. From a banking industry perspective, corporate governance involves the allocation of authority and responsibilities, i.e. the manner in which the business and affairs of a bank are governed by its board and senior management, including how they: set the bank’s strategy and objectives; determine the bank’s risk tolerance; operate the bank’s business on a day to day basis; protect the interests of depositors, meet shareholder obligations; and take into account the interests of other recognized stakeholders; and align corporate activities and behavior with the expectation that the bank will operate in a safe and sound manner, with integrity and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations (Basel Committee,2010). Thus, this study aims to analyze the impact of corporate governance on social information disclosure.
Information disclosure is an important and efficient means of protecting shareholders and is at the heart of corporate governance. It is also integral to corporate governance, i.e. an important element of corporate governance, since higher disclosure could be able to reduce the information asymmetry, to clarify the conflict of interests between the shareholders and the management, and to make corporate insiders accountable. Among the different types of information disclosed in the annual reports, disclosure on social information is focused in this study because a corporate governance guideline extends the responsibilities of the board of directors from the shareholders to wider aspect, i.e. stakeholders. Moreover, taking care of society is essential for the long-term sustainability of the firms and corporate social reporting becomes an important issue nowadays (Pramanik et al., 2008). Cortez and Penacerrada (2010) mention that protecting the society is part of the corporate social responsibility of the corporation.
Till now, there is no published empirical research that indentifies or examines the impact of Corporate Governance on Social Information Disclosure in Nepalese commercial banks. Therefore, an analysis of banks in Nepal from an “impact of corporate governance on social information disclosure” should be an interesting prospect. Such an investigation may provide the banks with fine and complicated information that will help them to reach the indefinable competitive edge they are searching for.
The study has utilized primary data. In order to collect the primary data, 200 questionnaires were distributed to the customers of 16 Nepalese commercial banks that include private banks, joint venture banks and public banks. The study includes eight non joint venture banks, six joint venture banks and two public banks. 150 questionnaires out of 200 were received. It should be noted that a set of questionnaire contained mixed type options such as personal information, yes/no/no ideas questions, ranking questions, five likert scale questions and open ended question concerning with corporate governance and level of social information disclosure of commercial banks.
Based on the results of primary data, the size of the audit firm, board size and board composition, ownership structure and CEO duality, size of customers are felt to be the most important elements of corporate governance that influence the level of social information disclosure. The study also concludes that among all of the elements of corporate governance size of audit firm have great impacts on the level of social information disclosure as shown by the result. It is also showed that social information disclosure is positively correlated with corporate governance dimensions (board size and board composition, size of customer) and negatively correlated with (size of audit firm, ownership structure and CEO duality).
The opinion survey reveals that the most of the respondents are convinced about effective corporate governance is linked towards the better level of social information disclosure. The majority of respondents have highlighted that CEO and Chairman must be different for high level of social information disclosure. Furthermore, the board responsibilities and structure has been taken as most important features of board of directors in order to disclose more level of social information. Moreover, banks should have good corporate governance in practice for the high level of social information disclosure.

Title : The effect of ownership structure and corporate governance on performance of Nepalese banks Material Type: printed text Authors: Anshu Manandhar, Author Publication Date: 2015 Pagination: 87p Size: GRP/Thesis Accompanying material: 5/B General note: Including bibilography Languages : English Descriptors: Banks

Corporate governanceKeywords: 'corporate governance corporations finance banks banks and banking commercial banks Nepal' Class number: 658.42 Abstract: Researchers over the last four decades believe that there is a connection between ownership structure and bank performance. There are many studies published to examine this relationship. The relationship between ownership structure and performance are studied extensively by several researchers. In regards to the relationship between ownership structure and profitability, researchers found different results. Some of the scholars state that, there is a country where ownership structure of banks affects positively to the profitability. Meanwhile, other researchers indicate the nonlinear negative or positive relationship of ownership structure and bank profitability
Corporate governance is a system by which companies are directed and controlled. Corporate governance is a way in which supplier of finance ensure themselves of getting return on their investment. Corporate governance is concerned with the ways and means by which the directors of the company are made responsible to its shareholders. Many companies have failed because of increasing corporate lootings. There is a doubt whether existing regulatory framework is adequate to deal with corporate fraud. Thus, in recent years, corporate governance has assumed a greater significance. This study on corporate governance and bank performance has been undertaken for Nepalese banks because Nepalese banking sector has gone sweeping changes and is emerging as a major sector of the economy.
The results in the prior studies on the effect of ownership structure, corporate governance on bank performance are mixed and unclear. Hence, this study has been conducted to get clear idea of effect of ownership structure, corporate governance on performance of Nepalese bank. For this, the sample of 21 commercial banks with data of 7 years from 2005/06 to 20012/13 has been taken. Data has been collected from various secondary sources like annual reports of sample banks and consolidated financial reports prepared by Nepal Rastra Bank. Descriptive statistics, portfolio analysis, correlation analysis, and ordinary least square regressions have been carried out to examine the secondary data.
The performance measures like Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin’s Q of the banks have been used as the dependent variable while ownership structure variables like institutional ownership, concentrated ownership, government ownership, foreign ownership and other ownership likewise, corporate governance variables such as board size, bank age, debt ratio and liquidity ratio have been considered as independent variables. Based on the results, independent variables like concentrated ownership, government ownership, foreign ownership, other ownership bank age and debt ratio and board size of the banks in Nepal are important ownership structure and corporate governance variables in order of their relative importance that enhances the performance of the banks. To be more specific, institutional ownership, concentrated ownership, foreign ownership and bank age are the independent variables that tend to influence the performance in positive manner. It implies that increase in any of these variables is likely to augment the performance of the banks. In contrast, more number of board members tends to deteriorate the performance. Moreover, higher percentage of government ownership, more share holdings by general public, and higher debt financing tends to the poor performance of bank. Concentrated ownership, foreign ownership, government ownership, other ownership, bank age, board size and debt ratio are found to have significant relation with bank performance. Institutional ownership and liquidity ratio are found to be insignificant in predicting the performance of the banks.
The recommendation put forward by this study is that banks are suggested to increase the proportion of foreign ownership and institutional ownership to have better performance. On the other hand, it is recommended to reduce the number of board members, use of more debt financing, more percentage of government and general public share holdings in order to have better performance of the banks. The major limitation of this study lies in the fact that this study has excluded some bank specific variables that might influence on performance evaluation of banks. The study remains enough ground for future researcher in the same topic. The future studies can be carried out by selecting other financial institutions like development banks, public banks and finance companies to grab the wider view of banks’ risk taking behavior and performance evaluation. Furthermore, the future studies can select larger sample and more number of observation years for the study that could lead to much more valid prediction regarding effect of ownership structure and corporate governance variables on performance of the banks. Moreover, this study has only used secondary data. So, the future studies can be done by using both primary and secondary data.The effect of ownership structure and corporate governance on performance of Nepalese banks [printed text] / Anshu Manandhar, Author . - 2015 . - 87p ; GRP/Thesis + 5/B.

Thus, this study aims to analyze the relationship of corporate governance structure with performance of banks.
Studies on corporate governance have documented the significant impact of corporate governance structures on performance in both developed and emerging economies. Among others, corporate governance variables like board independence, audit committee independence, CEO duality etc. has been found as significant in predicting the performance. Based on the reviews of previous studies this study has proposed the model that essentially emphasize on the role of board structure and mechanism and audit committee mechanism in shaping the performance of the banks. Based on the reviews of studies this study has conceptual model for the study that essentially emphasize on the role of board structure and mechanism and audit committee mechanism in shaping the performance of the banks.
The study has used stratified sampling technique to divide the population into private, public and joint-venture banks. In addition, systematic random sampling method has been used to select the sample of 17 commercial banks from each stratum. Primary data has been collected through questionnaire survey among employees and executives of the sample banks while 8 years data from 2004/05 to 2011/12 has been collected from various secondary sources like annual reports of sample banks and consolidated financial reports prepared by Nepal Rastra Bank. Frequency of responses, percentages has been used to analyze the primary data while descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression have been carried out to examine the secondary data. The performance measures like Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA) of the banks have been used as the dependent variable while corporate governance variables like board size, board independence, audit independence and audit activity, CEO duality and non-performing loan have been considered as independent variables.
Based on the results of primary and secondary data, board structure and mechanism, audit committee mechanism of the banks in Nepal are important corporate governance mechanism in order of their relative importance that enhances the performance of the banks. To be more specific, board independence, CEO duality and audit committee independence are the corporate governance mechanisms that tend to influence the performance in positive manner. It implies that increase in any of these variables is likely to increase the performance of the banks. Besides, board size and the audit committee meetings are found to be insignificant in predicting the performance of the banks.
The opinion survey reveals that the current provisions made by central bank regarding the corporate governance are insufficient. The study recommends the banks to improve the level of corporate governance that not only improve the performance of an individual bank but also ensures the stability of banking system. Moreover, banks are suggested to adopt faire corporate governance practices to promote market confidence, attract additional capital through good disclosure and transparency.
