Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to analyse the role of corporate governance in moderating the effects ofmurabahah,mudharabahandmusyarakahfinancing on the financing risk and financial performance of Islamic banks. Design/methodology/approach - The population for this study covered Islamic banks in Indonesia. Purposive sampling was performed, and statistical analysis was conducted using moderating regression analysis by selecting among the common, fixed and random effects models. Findings - The results showed thatmurabahahfinancing has a positive effect on financing risk; conversely,mudharabahfinancing has a negative effect on financing risk. By contrast,musyarakahfinancing has no effect on financing risk. However, corporate governance weakens the influence ofmurabahahfinancing on financing risk and increases that ofmudharabahfinancing on financing risk. Further, corporate governance cannot weaken the effect ofmusyarakahfinancing on financing risk. Additionally, financing risk reduces financial performance. Research limitations/implications - This research focusses only on Indonesian Islamic banks; future research should be extended to Islamic insurance and Islamic micro finance. Practical implications - The results serve as input for government regulations on corporate governance in Islamic bank financing and encourage Islamic banks to diversify their financing proportionally. Social implications - This research can be used for optimising Islamic bank financing to empower the realty sector and reduce poverty. Originality/value - Research on the role of corporate governance as a moderating variable in reducing financing risk in Islamic banks remains limited.
