Why is it important?
The results reveal that managers lack control while the board of directors seems to exert a lot of power. This state of affairs results from the fact of associating the role of the manager with that of the board of directors. Finally, our results reveal a negative association between the presence of a group of dominant shareholders and performance, a phenomenon which might be explained in terms of private appropriation of benefits.
Perspectives
Developing banking standards is an important process for a country’s financial and economic well being. Their importance incites governments to insure the stability and the performance of their banking systems.
