In this study, size of audit committee, competency of audit committee, frequency of audit committee meeting, and gender diversity of audit committee are applied as independent variables while board size, firm size, and total debts are applied as control variables to investigate their effects on firm performance. Since there are different measures of the dependent variable, which is firm performance, this study is divided into two models, Model 1 for Return on Assets and Model 2 for Economic Value Added. The result of this study shows that size of audit committee, board size, firm size, and total debts have insignificant impact on firm performance in both Model 1 and Model 2.

The frequency of audit committee meetings shows an insignificant result in Model 1 and a significant result in Model 2.
