Abstract

The purpose of our research is to study the impact of governance tools on Tunisian company performance. Empirical verification conducted by an expert panel composed of 100 Tunisian companies listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange. The observation period is 10 years, from 2008 to 2018. It shows that the composition of the board of directors, the remuneration system, shareholders and information disclosure on the performance of these banks which have a positive impact. On the other hand, for the two performance indicators (ROE and ROA), the age of the company is not important.
