The corporate governance is a much discussed issue among the corporate and regulators. With the time and advancement in information and technology, the methods of investigations in the field have also changed for the better and accurate outputs. The study primarily investigates the nature and effect of good corporate governance on the firm’s financial performance using data mining analysis. For the investigation the board meetings and board remunerations are taken as the components of corporate governance whereas firm performance is a depended variable which is measured by return on capital employed (ROCE), return on equity (ROE), and return on assets (ROA). The study results are suggestive of a positive and significant relationship between board meetings and the firm performance whereas the board remuneration has no impact over the firm performance.

The increased number of corporate dirty pools raised serious concerns about the interest of the shareholders. The board room politics, conflict of interest, and bully pulpit proclivity gave birth to the “agency complexities.” The complexities of the corporate world made a buzz for the serious thoughts on corporate governance. This analysis aims at an objective and scientific inquiry about the relationship between corporate governance complexities and firm performance by utilizing data mining tools. It aims at overcoming the corporate dilemma over profitability vs. good governance and presenting a scientific model to eradicate the complexities in the corporate governance system and aims at providing a scientific basis to overcome the complex issues of governance faced by the corporate. The multivariate analysis in this paper utilizes a data mining tool for regression analysis and ANOVA. This paper also proposes a mathematical model that supports the study outcomes. The investigation outcomes are not only backed by the mathematical model and scientific tools but also by a comprehensive comparative analysis. The outcome of the investigation clearly mentions the significance and the primacy of each variable in the corporate decisions making process, which will facilitate the organizations in framing their corporate governance policies and will also be helpful to the managers in overcoming the corporate dilemma faced by them.
