Abstract

This study investigates the effect of characteristics of board of directors and audit committee strength on audit fees internal control quality. In this study, 84 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange were evaluated from 2014 to 2016. Panel regression model and panel logistic regression model were used for testing hypotheses related to audit fees and the weaknesses of internal control quality, respectively. Results showed that there is no significant relationship between the authority of board of directors and audit committee and the independence board and audit committee expertise and internal control quality weakness and also between the board power and audit fees. There is a significant relationship, however, between the board independence and audit committee authority, expertise, as well as the audit fees. Furthermore, results indicated that there is no significant relationship between board effort and audit fees and internal control quality weakness. || Este estudio investiga el efecto de las características de la fortaleza de la junta directiva y del comité de auditoría sobre la calidad del control interno de los honorarios de auditoría. En este estudio, un total de 84 empresas que cotizan en la Bolsa de Teherán se evaluaron de 2014 a 2016. El modelo de regresión de panel y el modelo de regresión logística de panel se utilizaron para probar hipótesis relacionadas con los honorarios de auditoría y las debilidades de la calidad del control interno, respectivamente. Los resultados mostraron que no existe una relación significativa entre la autoridad de la junta directiva y el comité de auditoría y la experiencia de la junta de independencia y del comité de auditoría y la debilidad de la calidad del control interno y también entre el poder de la junta y los honorarios de auditoría. Sin embargo, existe una relación significativa entre la independencia de la junta y la autoridad del comité de auditoría, la experiencia y los honorarios de auditoría.
