    The study explores the relationship between ownership structure and corporate governance on the capital structure of some listed manufacturing companies in the Ghana Stock Exchange. This study was motivated by the fact that although the concept of corporate governance has been researched in literature, no clear evidence exists of its study in Ghana relating to ownership structure on leverage. The study covers the period 2007 to 2011 for which firm-level data for eight (8) randomly selected manufacturing listed companies from the Ghana Stock Exchange has been examined by using descriptive, correlation, and multivariate regression analysis. Corporate governance variables employed are board size, board composition, and CEO/Chair duality. The impact of ownership has also been examined by using managerial and institutional shareholding. Similarly, the influence of controlled variables like firm size and profitability on firms’ financing mechanisms is also investigated. Results reveal that Board Size, Board Composition, and Institutional, and Managerial shareholding are significantly correlated with leverage ratio positively, whereas it is negatively influenced by CEO/Chair duality. However, firm size and return on assets are found to have a positive and negative significant effect on capital structure respectively. Therefore results suggest that corporate governance and ownership structure play an important role in a firm’s capital mix determination.
