Abstract

The Indonesian government currently focuses on high infrastructure development to prepare for connectivity between one city and another. The massive construction of the new government capital is also called the archipelagos capital. This condition impacts companies supporting construction projects, which are growing rapidly. This growth is supported by corporate governance and the cash-holding industry, which supports infrastructure projects for the companys financial performance. This research aims to determine the role of cash holding and corporate governance (board skill, independent director, managerial ownership) on the financial performance of infrastructure-supporting manufacturing companies in Indonesia. The sample used in this research was 83 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2010-2020 period. This research uses panel data regression as a data analysis method. The results of this research show that managerial ownership significantly impacts increasing cash holding by maintaining the optimization of cash and cash equivalents. The companys managerial ownership cannot impact board skills because many companies still need to accommodate share ownership by management and board-skill-educated doctors. This condition also causes board size skills not to impact increasing cash holding in the company. Board skills have yet to be able to impact financial performance significantly. Managerial ownership and cash holding impact increasing return on assets, thereby increasing financial performance for manufacturing companies that support infrastructure projects. The independent director, as a variable moderator, still needs to be capable of moderating managerial ownership, board skill, and cash holding to improve financial performance. This condition is caused by data from several companies still needing more independent directors. Research provides a practical contribution to the owner as soon as possible, recruiting board members with doctoral education as competent board skills and making independent directors have a vital role in improving financial performance. The theoretical contribution to research is to enrich the theory of corporate governance and financial performance.
