The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of the internal audit function (IAF) in improving the quality of financial reporting. This is because the effectiveness of the FAIs role is often questioned considering its status as an employee who must serve two masters namely the board of directors and the audit committee as representatives of the board of commissioners. On the other hand, financial statements represent reports on the performance and quality of the companys management. The research method uses quantitative methods with multiple linear regression analysis. The research data is based on a questionnaire survey with purposively selected respondents from accounting, finance, auditing, and audit committee practitioners. The research findings indicate that the competence and objectivity of the IAF have a positive effect on the quality of financial reporting. Thus, to enhance the quality of financial reporting, internal auditors must be able to improve their competence and objectivity. Meanwhile, the most important quality of financial statements is the fundamental qualitative characteristics of faithful or honest representation by management. The results of this study answer doubt about the unique role of the IAF as a servant of the two masters, and implicitly the partnership with the audit committee enhances the check and balance function through the role of the IAF. The limitation of the study is that the low determinant coefficient which indicates that there are many other factors that affect the quality of financial reporting. For further research, it is recommended to add other factors and increase the number of sample respondents.

This study examines the effect of audit committee tenure on financial reporting quality of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study uses panel data obtained from the Nigerian Stock Exchange factbooks and the financial statements of 14 listed deposit money banks over a period of 10 years (2007-2016). The study uses cross sectional and time series research design. Financial reporting quality was measured using the modified Jones (1991) model and changes in working capital model, while audit committee tenure was measured as the mean tenure of audit committee members. The data was analyzed using descriptive (mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum) and inferential statistics (correlation and regression analysis). The study reveals that audit committee tenure has a negative and insignificant effect on financial reporting quality under the two models. The implication of these results is that the tenure of audit committee members is not important when considering the financial reporting quality of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study therefore concludes that the effect of audit committee tenure on financial reporting quality of deposit money banks in Nigeria is negative and insignificant. Based on this conclusion, the study recommends that further research should be conducted on other audit committee attributes in order to see which of the attributes may have significant effect on financial reporting quality.
