HRMARS - This work aims to analyze the trends in the literature on corporate governance and financial risk. It presents a bibliometric analysis of 1105 studies on corporate governance and financial risk from the Scopus database for the period 2013–2023. The articles were assessed and visualized with VOSviewer based on the authors, sources and countries with the highest publication rate, journals with the most published research and highly cited articles and authors. The analyses provide a comprehensive outlook of the field, and the results show the dominance of documents on corporate governance and financial risk up to 2023. The results are discussed with avenues for further research. This paper focuses on corporate governance and financial risk research from the Scopus database to highlight the extensive and somewhat under-researched areas in the extant literature. This would aid upcoming researchers in identifying scholars in the field when exploring future research avenues to close ensuing gaps.
