The data was collected from the financial reports of the banks. The dependent variable was returning on assets as a proxy of firm performance and the independent variables were corporate governance factors (namely, the board size, firm size, independent directors, CEO duality, and leverage). The technique was applied for this research included the Co-integration test, the Hausman test to determine Random or Fixed Effect, and the Panel Least Square Regression to check the relationship between variables The result found that board size has a significant effect on return on assets indicated that optimum board size in an organization increases the ROA. The results found board independence has a significant effect on return on assets indicating the independency of directors is involved in creating greater value for shareholders. The results found that CEO/Chairman duality has an insignificant impact on return on assets.
