The audit committee is one of the parts of corporate governance mechanism, which is understood as the relationship between corporate managers, directors and the providers of equity, people and institutions who save and invest their capital to earn the return. This study presents survey research results of audit committee activity in Polish public stock companies quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The purpose of this paper is to present the audit committee practice in Poland after 2009. The paper shows that the audit committee practice is still the most problematic issue of transitional Polish corporate governance rules. The survey has shown that the corporate needs and its implementation, and communication with listed companies leave a lot of room for improvement. The paper is based on the documents prepared in 2010 by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Polish Association of Listed Companies and the Polish Institute of Directors.

This study examines the impact of intellectual capital and corporate governance mechanism on banks’ performance both directly and also moderated effect. We used banks that were listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The bank’s performance was measured by risk-based bank rating while intellectual capital was measured by the coefficient of VAICTM (Pulic, 1998). The corporate governance mechanism was measured based on the size of boards of directors, the composition of independent director, CEO remuneration, managerial ownership, the effectiveness of audit committee and ownership concentration. The result of the study shows that banks’ performance was positively influenced by intellectual capital. However, corporate governance mechanism did not influence the banks’ performance, while the moderation effect of corporate governance mechanism on the relationship between intellectual capital and banks’ performance was not confirmed.

In this paper, our purpose is to examine the relationship between the role of Internal Audit (IA), Corporate Governance (CG) and the Audit Committee (AC) in the recent financial crisis in Greece and to investigate the contribution of IA to CG structures as well as its possible, the IA’s role during the financial crisis in Greece. Moreover, little research has been conducted based on the relationship between corporate governance and internal audit during the financial crisis in case of Greece. For this reason, we conducted a survey, using questionnaires, which were sent to the listed companies of the Athens Stock Market. Out of a total of 192 listed companies on the Athens Stock Exchange, the relevant questionnaires were sent to 100 companies. Those companies were selected firstly based on their total turnover and secondly due to the availability of information from company websites such as employees’ numbers and Internal Audit Department Structures. Our conclusion was that Internal Audit adds value to the organization and it can also help the senior management towards the accomplishment of the organizational goals.

Our study empirically examines the relationship between corporate governance mechanism and their interactions on the firm value. We concentrated on the banking industry in Indonesia and Malaysia given that majority of the literature are primarily focused on the non-financial industry due to stringent regulation on disclosure in the financial banking counterparts. We measure firm’s value using Tobin’s q, while corporate governance mechanisms comprised of independent directors, the presence of audit committee, the institutional ownership as well as the percentage of female directors on the board. Using 48 observations during the year 2016-2018, our result exhibit that there is a significant positive association between audit committee independence and firm value. Moreover, we also reported a negative link between board independent and the presence of female directors on the firm value. In respect to our interaction effects, we found that there is a complementary relationship between (i) audit committee independent and board independent and (ii) female directors and audit committee independent and firm value. Moreover, our regression also reported a significant substitutive relationship between (i) female directors and institutional ownership (ii) female directors and board independent as well as (iii) audit committee independent and institutional ownership and firm value. In contrary to the findings from the western counterpart, our result shows that the presence of female directors reduce firm value, thus suggesting that the role of female directors have been impaired due to the cultural aspect of the society.
