The study was conducted based on data of 26 commercial banks in Vietnam to discover the effects of diversification of the Board of Directors and the gap between the Chairman of the Board (Chairman) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on commercial banks’ risks in the period from 2007 to 2017. The empirical results of the study show the gap between the Chairman of the Board and the CEO (Chair-CEO gap), and the diversification of the Board of Directors also affects the banks’ risks.
