Abstract
This paper presents the key role of corporate governance on the performance of banks in
Iraq. This study aims to examine the relationship between board characteristics and bank
performance by considering panel data of 24 banks for period 2005-2014 in Iraq. This
relationship is estimated by using the panel OLS and regression technique. The findings
reveal there is a significant positive relationship between board composition, board size and
bank performance. Additionally, findings show that female board of directors is one of the
reasons to make down the bank performance in Iraq. Taken together, this study finding
recommended to regulators, in particular for the current financial reform of corporate boards.
