Abstract—This study examines the relationship between
Corporate Governance and corporate performance in
communication sector of Pakistan. A set of listed companies has
been investigated to analyze the relationship for the year 2009.

Metrick (2003) and Brown & Caylor (2004) and international
best practices in corporate governance, a Corporate
Governance Scoring Index (CGSI) has been created to measure
