摘要
The present study attempts to investigate whether differences in the quality of firm level corporate governance standards influence performance of acquiring firms for a sample of companies by creating a corporate governance index. The study is based on a survey of sample of 155 companies having completed mergers and acquisitions deals announced during January 2003-December 2008. The paper analyzes the relationship between corporate governance practices of the acquiring firms and abnormal returns during event windows around the announcement of M&A and post-M&A financial performance of the acquirers. The results reveal a positive relationship between corporate governance standards and the performance of the acquiring firms in short-run as well as long-run.
