ABSTRACT

This study examines  the effect of board characteristics  on the profitability of public  liability  companies from  2010 to 2015.  The study  employs  the

ex-post  facto design  method,  data was collected  using secondary  source and the collected  data was analyzed  using regression  analysis.  The study found  that board size has no effect on the profitability   of firms  and that board  independence  has effect on the profitability   offirms  and that CEO duality has a significant  effect on the profitability  offirms.  Therefore, the researcher  recommends   that listed firms  should put  a good  number  of people  on the board with  diverse  discipline,  a more  independent  board will give' room for  the interest  of shareholders  to be protected,  need for CEO  duality  to curtail  the excesses  of board  chairmen  that  can  make decision  outside the scope of the firms  vision.
