Abstract
Corporate governance is a concept that involves practices that entail the organization of management and control of companies. It reflects the interaction among those persons and groups, which provide resources to the company and contribute to its performance such as shareholders, employees, creditors, long-term suppliers and subcontractors. Corporate governance has received much attention in the accounting literature, with studies focusing on the impact of corporate governance and the financial performance of the firm. None of these studies have focused on the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance of the deposit taking Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Tanzania. This study aims to explore the relationship between corporate governance and the financial performance of the deposit taking Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Tanzania. The main objective of this study will be to investigate the relationship between corporate governance and the financial performance of the deposit taking Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Tanzania.
