Corporate governance is a key tool used to balance and ensure interests of all company’s stakeholders are met. These stake orders majorly consist of shareholders, suppliers, customers, government, community and financiers. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of the corporate governance on financial performance of listed banks in Kenya. A purposive sampling method integrating qualitative and quantitative design methods was employed in this study. The target and sample population was all the eleven public listed banks in Kenya. For the eleven listed banks, the company secretaries and other two executive top management members were each subjected to the study through the administration of questionnaires, hence three respondents per public listed bank.

 The published annual reports of the eleven listed banks for the years 2015 – 2017 were used to collect secondary data. SPSS research analysis tool was used emphasizing on the Multiple Regression Analysis and the Spearman Correlation Coefficient among others to assess the magnitude and relationship and thus come up with a finding of the relationship of the independent and dependant variables. The research found that corporate governance practices affects the financial performance of the eleven listed banks in Kenya.
