Intellectual Capital Efficiency from the Lens of Audit Committee Attributes
Abstract
Abstract Views: 62
The purpose of this research is to find out the association between audit committee traits and intellectual capital efficiency in the context of Pakistan. For this purpose, this study employs a sample of 28 banks covering a duration of 10 years (2010-2020). Furthermore, this study employs audit committee attributes as an independent variable, while the dependent variable is the efficiency of intellectual capital, which is measured by using the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) approach. As the audit committee aids in strengthening the internal control systems by overseeing the top management decision-making process, thus, it improves the overall effectiveness of organizations. Preluding to the control system process, the results of this study are justified by revealing a significantly positive impact of audit attributes on banks’ intellectual capital efficiency. Therefore, this research illustrates the insights of intellectual capital efficiency with audit committee attributes as a major component, which would be significant for managers in making decisions regarding audit committee composition to increase intellectual capital in the developing nations.
