Purpose: Corporate governance and capital structure are seen as significant factors in improving corporate performance. Although many studies have examined the relationship between corporate governance and capital structure through corporate performance, this research gap is still significant when considering the relationship between corporate governance and capital structure in the Malaysian context. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework that examines the impact of corporate governance and capital structure on the performance of the public companies in Malaysia.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The primary method will use quantitative with secondary data, using the annual reports of companies registered on Bursa Malaysia from the period 2013 to 2016. As well as the data available on Thomson Reuters Data Stream Version 5.1 available at the Sultanah Bahiyah Library of Universiti Utara Malaysia.
Implications/Originality/Value: This study proposes to enhance the role of corporate governance and capital structure, and to redefine corporate governance policy and capital structure to enhance corporate performance. Finally, it is hoped that this study will enhance the performance of the companies, and benefit the financial report users, investors, creditors, shareholders, and other stakeholders in the public companies in Malaysia.
