Corporate Governance Organization Performance Company Policy A dissertation submitted to partial fulfilment of the requirements for an award of a Master of Science Degree in Accounting and Finance of Mzumbe University The study investigated the impact of corporate governance toward organization performance with the case study of Tanzania Portland Cement Company Limited. To achieve this, specific objectives were formulated including (i) to assess the effect of board of directors’ independence on effectiveness of corporate governance practices, (ii) to assess the effect of board of directors’ composition on effectiveness of corporate governance practices and (iii) to assess the effect of board of directors’ leadership structure on effectiveness of corporate governance practices. The study was carried out at the Tanzania Portland Cement Company limited. A sample of 120 respondents was selected and data collected through questionnaires, interview and FGDs. Data were analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study found out that the non-executive directors influence to some extent executive directors duties; annual audited reports including half-yearly reports; shareholders to exercise their right to vote on directors’ proposals; and the existence of non-executive directors influences all decisions made by voting at TPCC Other findings include more non-executive directors on the board relative to executive directors and Board size influences organization performance in public listed companies in Tanzania. However, these findings are not assertive since they scored below the ≥90% decision criterion. Lastly, the study found that the separation of the two highest level positions in a company: those of the chairman of the board of directors and of the CEO have impact on corporate governance toward organization performance. The study recommends that within the public sector, government bodies should develop significant body of material which addresses corporate governance issues. It is therefore recommended to other scholars/researchers to conduct studies on the following variables which this research was not able to cover due to limiting factors; Technology, Quality of Staff and Company Policy.
