Title A name given to the resource EFFECTS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF LISTED COMPANIES IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ALEC JEMWA Description An account of the resource The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of corporate governance practices on the financial performance of companies that were listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) from 2014 to 2019. The major objectives of the study were to assess the overall corporate governance rating of ZSE-listed companies and to examine the significance of corporate governance practices on the financial performance of those listed companies. The researcher chose companies listed on the ZSE as they play a pivotal role in the national economy and their corporate governance is regulated by ZSE. The study adopted a positivism paradigm and employed the quantitative approach. The quantitative approach is premised on gathering scientific data through objective means which include experiments and surveys. Corporate governance was measured using the Blau (1977) model whilst the firm performance was measured using accounting ratios. Firm performance panel data was collected from the ZSE- listed firms‟ annual financial reports that were available on their respective websites for the period 2014 to 2019. Data were analysed using the PCSE regression analysis model. The research established that most ZSE-listed companies surpassed the minimum corporate governance practices set by ZSE. However, there was a high level of non-disclosure of some information which should ordinarily be made available to stakeholders in the Annual reports. The study also established that financial performance was sector related. Corporate governance practices had a varying degree effect on certain accounting ratios, and some did not have a significant correlation with other financial performance indicators. The study concluded that some corporate governance practices are correlated to the entity‟s financial performance and that corporate governance practices affect the company‟s financial performance to a different extent. It is, therefore, recommended that people charged with corporate governance should institute sound corporate governance practices to enhance companies‟ financial performance. Sound corporate governance practices result in sustainable good financial performance.
