EFFECT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARACTERISTICS AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF LISTED OIL AND GAS FIRMS IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Financial performance is a rallying point for all stakeholders, be it management, regulators,

investors and potential investors. The continuous survival and growth of any business is

dependent on its performance and as such the need to look for factors to enhance the continuous

performance of firms. It is to this end that the study examines the impact of audit committee

characteristics, ownership structure on financial performance of listed Oil and Gas companies

in Nigeria over the period of 2010 -2015. The populations consist of nine listed Oil and Gas

companies as at 31st December, 2015 while a sample of seven companies were used after

eliminating two through criteria. Secondary source of data was used and were obtained through

the annual reports and accounts of the selected companies. Panel multiple regression technique

was used and Stata 13 was used as tool for data analysis. The result indicates that audit

committee composition, audit committee financial expertise, managerial ownership and

institutional ownership have significant positive impact on financial performance of listed oil

and gas firms in Nigeria. Audit committee size revealed significant negative influence on

financial performance of firms. However, the study did not find any significant impact of audit

committee meetings on financial performance. The study recommends amongst others that; the

members of the audit committee should highly be composed of members with knowledge of

finance in order to make them effective which will affect financial performance positively. At

least 45% of audit committee members should be financially literate.
