This paper aimed to determine the research gap between corporate governance and its effects on firm performance among family-controlled listed companies on Bursa Malaysia with a globalized boardroom after implementing MCCG 2012. The study focused on family-controlled companies listed on Bursa Malaysia from 2013 to 2018. The sample size includes 240 firm-year observations. Panel data analysis (fixed and random effect) model and Hausman tests were used.

This paper aims to examine and compare the impact of corporate governance (CG) and intellectual capital (IC) on firm performance (FP) between pre- Malaysia Code of Corporate Governance (MCCG) 2012 and post- MCCG 2012 of GLCs. Panel data analysis was used. The data were collected from the annual report of the 32 GLCs from 2005 to 2012 (pre- MCCG 2012) and from 2013 to 2020 (post- MCCG 2012). There was a total of 512 firm-year observations. The CG of post- MCCG 2012 has a greater impact on earnings per share (EPS) compared to pre- MCCG 2012. The IC of pre- MCCG 2012 has a greater impact on return on equity (ROE), Tobin’s Q and EPS.
