Investment decision risk could be minimized by good governance, and it becomes an essential strategy for the industry, including Sharia banking, for sustainable performance during an abnormal economic impacted pandemic. We examine the role of Sharia bank governance proxied by supervisory boards, board commissioners, and independent commissioners in managing the risk level. Then, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) is used as risk measurement because it shows the ability of banks to provide funds that are used to overcome possible risks of loss. We used 8 Sharia banks in Indonesia during 2020-2021 as a sample of the study. The data were analyzed descriptively, and used panel data regression to test the hypotheses. The results showed commissioner board significantly affects the level of Sharia bank risk, but no firm evidence of the role of supervisory boards and independent commissioners. The finding implies that Sharia banks should focus on having a good composition of boards to manage the risk level, especially when facing abnormal conditions such as the pandemic.
