Abstract

Purpose: We investigate the association among trustee board diversity (TBD), corporate governance (CG),capital structure (CS) and financial performance (FP) using a sample of UK charities. Specifically, weinvestigate the effect of TBD on CS, and ascertain whether CG quality moderates the TBD-CS nexu...
