The Effect of Audit Committee Characteristics on Intellectual Capital Disclosure of Commercial Banks Listed on the Bahrain Bourse
摘要
The study examines how the characteristics of audit committees affect the disclosure of intellectual capital in commercial banks listed on the Bahrain Bourse. Data was collected from all banks on the Bahrain Stock Exchange for the period from 2014 to 2023. The findings indicate that audit committee size, independence, and experience positively correlate with intellectual capital disclosure. For future research, it would be valuable to investigate additional factors that could influence intellectual capital disclosure, including corporate governance frameworks, regulatory environments, and the role of technology in disclosure practices.
