The Moderating Role of External Audit Quality on the Relationship Between Audit Committee Characteristics and Firm Performance.

Abstract

This research would not have been possible without the exceptional support of our supervisor Professor Mohamed El-Deeb. His enthusiasm, knowledge and exacting attention to details have been an inspiration and kept our work on track from tiniest details to the biggest ones. We are sincerely thankful for all the encouragement he gave us during making this research. Without his guidance and constant feedback this project would not have been achievable. We would also like to thank our TA Youmna El-Arabi, Lana Mohamed and Engy Abozaid for their effort and hard work in guiding us and supporting us towards the whole process of the project. In addition, their desire in pushing us forward and assisting us is genuinely appreciated and respected. Their support and kind words had always been motivation for us to keep moving forward. We also must express our very profound gratitude to our family and friends for providing us with unfailing support throughout the years of study and through the process of researching our graduation project
