Abstract: 

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relevance of corporate governance in the quest to attain organizational efficiency in the working capital management of listed firms. There is a consensus that efficiency of working capital management is vital for firm's growth and survival, yet another consensus is the role of corporate governance in limiting managerial self-serving behavior and ultimately improving firm's efficiency. If the foregoing views hold, then the empirical question "Is corporate governance important for firm-level working capital efficiency?" becomes important.
