Based on research that has been done, there is still a diversity of opinions regarding the effect of audit committee characteristics on company performance. The purpose of this study is to study whether audit committee size and number of audit committee meetings affect company performance. The grand theory of this research is agency theory or agency theory and corporate governance. This research uses quantitative research methods. Data processing is performed using eviews 9.
