The research sample comprises thirty prominent firms that are either situated or functioning in Pakistan and are registered on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). We employed the ordinary least squares regression technique to ascertain the nature of the correlation between corporate governance characteristics and the capital structure of the business. Although Pakistani companies' corporate governance systems are not highly developed, the analysis demonstrates that they do exert a significant influence on the organisational structure of enterprises to some degree. The findings suggest a considerable inverse correlation between the debt ratio and board composition, CEO duality, ownership concentration, and profitability. This relationship has statistical significance. Therefore, it is clear that any increase in these variables could lead to a decrease in the debt ratio. The debt ratio exhibits a positive correlation with director salary, tangibility of assets, and size. Additionally, the association between the debt ratio and board size is both positive and significant. Nevertheless, the association between board size and debt ratio is not significant.</p> Charlotte Hughes, Ph.D, Benjamin Reynolds, M.A. Copyright (c) 2024 Governance Accounting Archive Review http://www.garjournal.com/index.php/Journal/article/view/27 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200 Effective Supply Chain Management Strategies for Improved Operational Efficiency http://www.garjournal.com/index.php/Journal/article/view/28 <p>Supply chain management (SCM) plays a crucial role in the success of businesses by ensuring efficient flow of goods and services from suppliers to end consumers.

Study findings indicate that there might be significant disparities in organisational efficiency between developed and poor nations. It is recognised that industrialised countries have distinct challenges. In order to provide a comprehensive response to this issue, the literature review encompasses significant research conducted in both well-established and emerging economies. A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the specific influence of different corporate governance systems on profitability. This inquiry was carried out in line with the existing body of research on accounting and finance. Insufficient focus has been given to the complex interplay between specific components of corporate governance systems and their potential influence on total profitability. This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis that considers the overall influence of several corporate governance difficulties on business profitability. The aim of this study is to attain this objective in order to address the existing void. This research will provide illumination on both mature economies and nascent ones.</em></p> Hassan Iftikhar, Rabia Yousaf, Zain Jawad Copyright (c) 2024 Governance Accounting Archive Review http://www.garjournal.com/index.php/Journal/article/view/29 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200 Effect of Corporate Governance on Bank Productivity http://www.garjournal.com/index.php/Journal/article/view/30 <p><em>In the contemporary financial landscape, corporate governance plays a pivotal role in shaping the operational efficiency and performance of banking institutions.
