| This study aims to assess the relationship between CEO power and tax avoidance and the moderating effects of board tenure diversity on this connection. Based on firms listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia from 2009 to 2019, the study finds that CEOs with more dimensions of power are more likely to engage in tax avoidance activities. Further tests reveal that this positive association is strengthened by board tenure diversity, suggesting that a more diverse board tenure increases CEO competence in tax avoidance. |
