Abstract

audit committee characteristics; such as professional certification, size, commitment, and foreigner members; and firm performance.CG has garnered a lot of attention in the circles of academics and business practitioners in the previous years, which resulted in the development and eventual laying down of fundamentals of practice, empirical studies and conceptual models. To ensure success of firms, CG is a crucial component that guarantees accountability and responsibility and a set of principles that must be adopted into the firm’s every department. CG has attracted a lot of attention as it concentrates on the long-term relationship through checks and balances, incentives for managers and management-investors relations and most importantly, transaction relationships involving disclosure and authority. The main goal of this study is to fill the void in the literature and provide an opportunity for further in-depth research to investigate this relationship.
