Abstract
  • This systematic review article focuses on the methods used by past researchers to study the impact of corporate governance on banks’ performance. Generally, the corporate governance with regards to banks performance has attracted scholars to conduct numerous relevant studies. Unfortunately, most past researches were not from the perspectives of systematic literature review. Hence, the present study reviewed a considerable amount of past studies with the intention to highlight perspectives that were covered and methods used by their studies to measure corporate governance impact on banks performance. For the purpose of this research, ROSES Reporting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses was adapted for the review of the current research which utilised two main journal databases, namely Scopus and Web of Science. Google scholar was used as a supporting source. Subsequently, the searching strategies resulted in a total of 10 articles that can be analysed systematically. As a result, the review managed to identify some 5 themes and 6 sub themes. Finally, several recommendations were presented at the end of this research for the reference of future scholars.
