Abstract
This study examine the effect of audit committee characteristics on performance of Nigeria banks, using a cross section of thirteen (13) banks. Data were sources from the annual report of the studied banks. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The result reveal that audit committee characteristics has significant effect on the performance of Nigeria banks. On the specifics, the result shows that, audit committee size has a negative relationship with performance of Nigeria banks and it is statistically significant at 5%. Audit committee meeting and expertise are positively related to performance of Nigeria banks but are not statistically significant. The SPSS automatically remove the variable used to measure audit committee independence, since there is no variation in the variable. We therefore recommend that, audit committee be structured to a sizable number to enhance effectiveness. Secondly, the audit committee meetings and expertise should be improved for better performance .
