Main Article Content

Calidad de la auditoría, Eficacia del comité de auditoría, Omán
Resumen
Este estudio tiene como objetivo descubrir cómo la eficacia del comité de auditoría (AC) afecta la calidad de la auditoría (AQ). Se emplea la regresión logística para examinar la hipótesis de la investigación. El presente estudio recopila datos de 773 observaciones del año de la empresa obtenidas de los informes anuales de las empresas que cotizan en la Bolsa de Valores de Mascate (MSE). Los datos cubren el período de 2010 a 2019. De acuerdo con la perspectiva complementaria, los hallazgos de este estudio indican una relación positiva estadísticamente significativa entre la efectividad de la CA y la calidad de las auditorías. Además, este estudio reveló que la experiencia contable del director ejecutivo (CEO) no sirvió como moderador para influir en la conexión entre la eficacia del comité de auditoría y la calidad de la auditoría. Este estudio aporta implicaciones tanto prácticas como teóricas a la literatura sobre la efectividad de AC y AQ. Los resultados tienen implicaciones sustanciales para las empresas, los reguladores, los académicos y los accionistas, específicamente en el entorno omaní, como parte del panorama de los mercados emergentes asiáticos.
