Purpose: This study examines the effect of independent commissioner proportion and leverage on the financial performance of consumer non-cyclicals companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020–2024. In this study, financial performance is measured using ROE.

Data analysis was performed using panel data regression techniques with EViews 12 software to examine the effects of the independent variables on financial performance.

Results: The findings show that leverage has a negative and significant effect on ROE, indicated by prob (0.0001). Meanwhile, the percentage of independent commissioners has no significant relationship, as shown by prob (0.8454).

Conclusions: This study concludes that leverage is an important factor affecting financial performance, while the proportion of independent commissioners has no significant influence on ROE.

Limitations: This study is limited to consumer non-cyclicals companies listed on the IDX and only examines two independent variables during the 2020–2024 period.
