ABSTRACT
This study has been undertaken with the objective of examining the impact of Board of Directors
Characteristics on the Risk management Capacity of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria.
Using a sample of eight (8) too big to fail banks for a period of 8 years (2005-2012), the study
employs correlation research design and Generalized least squares method of analysis. The
study found that board characteristics of the listed deposit money banks in Nigeria have
significant impact on the risk management of the banks. Specifically, the study found that, board
of directors’ size and independence, board risk governance and board financial expertise have
significantly improved the risk management (measured by Value at risk and non-performing
loans ratio) of the deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study recommends among others that the
regulators of deposit money banks in Nigeria should increase surveillance, and supervision to
ensure proper overall risk management that could safeguard the interest of all stakeholders and
the reputations of the banks. They should also emphasize the optimal size of the board.
