In 2018, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of Taiwan announced a further 3-year company governance roadmap. Through legal regulations, corporate self-governance and market supervision, the FSC aims to boost investor confidence, improve the overall operating environment as well as enhance market competitiveness, once again emphasizing the importance of company governance. This study takes companies listed in Taiwan from 2014 to 2018 as research samples, with the exception of finance and insurance companies and government-owned enterprises, in order to explore the effects of internal governance and external supervisory mechanisms on company value. Using four regression models, results show that the scale of the board of directors, the proportion of independent directors, the percentage of shares held by directors and institutional investors and the agreements entered into with the Big Four all have a significant positive impact on company value. Furthermore, boards with chairman holding the position of the general manager are susceptible to agency problems, representing a significant negative impact on company value. However, external supervisory mechanisms can help mediate and turn the negative impact of boards with chairman holding the position of the general manager on company value into a positive one, thereby adequately improving the quality of company governance. |
