Abstract: (625 Views)
The quality of financial reporting refers to the accuracy and correctness of financial reports in expressing information related to the company's operations, especially the expected cash flows, in order to inform investors. Many researchers have found that a diversity of the board of director in terms of gender balance plays a key role in improving the performance of organizations, so it can be argued that diversity of the board of directors can be a predictor of quality financial reporting. An audit committee is an operational committee of a company's board that is responsible for overseeing financial reporting and information disclosure. Based on the stated contents, the present study examines the effect of the audit committee on the relationship between the gender diversity of board of directors and the quality of financial reporting in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The findings of the study indicate that forming an audit committee utilizing the potential of female directors should be considered significant. It is recommended that investors carefully consider the presence of female directors on audit committee memberships when making investment decisions. Additionally, the audit committee strengthens the relationship between gender diversity on the board of directors and the quality of financial reporting.
