摘要：The aim of this study is to examine the relationships of audit committee size, audit committee meetings and audit quality with corporate performance among the energy industry in Saudi Arabia using 54 firm-year observations for the period ranging from 2005 to 2018. The Pooled Ordinary-Least Square OLS regression’ results indicate that audit committee size was positively associated with corporate performance in the both return on assets (ROA) and return on equities (ROE) models. As for the audit committee meetings, there is a negative relationship with the ROE model, while this relationship has not been reported by the ROA model. In terms of audit quality, there is a positive association reported in both ROA and ROE models. The results documented by this study are important for decision makers at the company and the market levels.
