Our study empirically examines the association between four board of director characteristics and two audit committee dimensions. The audit committee dimensions are the level to which Singapore publicly listed firms voluntarily (1) include more independent directors on their audit committee beyond the mandatory minimum majority of independent directors and (2) improve the collective knowledge and experience of this standing committee by including suitably qualified independent directors. Our analysis is based on hand collected data from 430 domestically incorporated firms listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) at the end of 2003. We find Singapore publicly traded firms are likely to voluntarily include more independent directors on their audit committees beyond the mandated minimum majority when (1) the size of the board of directors increases, (2) firms segregate the positions of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairperson of the board, and (3) the proportion of independent directors serving on the board of directors increases. The percentage of independent directors with directorate interlocks appears not to influence a firm’s decision to voluntarily include more independent directors on their audit committees. We also find a statistically significant association between (1) duality (negative) and (2) percentage of independent directors with directorate interlocks (positive) and propensity for Singapore firms to voluntarily increase the collective knowledge and experience of the audit committee’s independent directors. Contrary to expectations board size and the proportion of independent directors are not significant determinants.

There has been a huge and deluge of risk threatening industries at an unequalled magnitude in recent times. As such, the board of directors and senior executives are increasingly expected to manage their various organizations' risk portfolios, affecting their financial performance. This has led to the assigning of the risk assessment role to the audit committee. The board of directors and its audit committee play an essential function in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) by building up the right condition or tone-at-the-top. Given the board's responsibilities for representing the interests of shareholders, it plays a vital role in overseeing management's approach to ERM. This study examined the relationship between audit committee characteristics and risk management of some selected listed firms in a developing country like Nigeria. The study used secondary data to describe the dependent variable (financial risk decomposed into credit risk and liquidity risk) and the explanatory variables (decomposed into audit committee accounting expertise, audit committee meetings, audit committee independence and audit committee gender). The study used pair sample t-test, student t-test, Pearson Moment Correlation and random panel data estimator for twenty (20) selected listed firms for 2012-2016. Findings indicate that there is a negative between audit committee accounting expertise and financial risk. This revealed that Accounting Expertise in Audit Committees are likely to involve in activities and practices to curb financial risk. In addition, the Audit committee meeting indicates a negative relationship with credit risk. Audit committee gender and audit committee independence have a negative effect on liquidity risk. Therefore, this study recommends that Audit committees embrace Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to manage risks effectively across the organization. Risk management processes should be one of the major points of discussion during audit committee meetings.
