Why is it important?

The findings contribute to investors to understand better the role of committees in the corporate governance system and the consequences on earnings quality. Also regulators can develop strong rules/requirements for firms to improve corporate governance.

Perspectives

I hope that this paper provides incentive for firms to improve the quality of corporate governance as well as the financial statements. All these factors together will contribute to increase firm's value and performance.
