This thesis examines how corporate governance affects the capital value of firms across global markets. Drawing on financial, governance, and market data from firms operating in diverse industries and regions, the study evaluates the role of key governance mechanisms, such as board independence, shareholder rights, executive accountability, and transparency in shaping firm valuation. The empirical findings demonstrate that firms with stronger governance structures consistently outperform those with weaker mechanisms in terms of market capitalization, financial performance, and resilience to external shocks. These results underscore the strategic importance of corporate governance as a determinant of capital value and long-term sustainability.
