The audit committee and external auditor are the potential mechanisms that reduced the
agency problem in the firms and examining these mechanisms in separation of alternate
governance mechanisms may have led to varied results in the literature. Mitchell et al. (2008)
showed that the relation between audit committee and the quality of audit can potentially
enhance the quality of financial statements published to the external stakeholders. In addition,
the audit committee’s interactions with the quality of external auditor offer several
opportunities to esteem whether the auditor corroborated honesty and objectivity to curb
upward the earnings management. Consequently, effective audit committee and a good audit
quality are expected to mitigating the earnings management practices (Lin and Hwang, 2010).
Numerous researches (Knapp, 1991; Beasley and Petroni, 2001; Abbott and Parker, 2000;
Chen et al., 2005) recommended that audit committee may affect the choice of an external
auditor. Knapp (1991) studied the characteristics of audit committee members and their
selection of external auditors. He argued that audit committee seems more probable to select
Big 8 auditors than non-Big 8 auditors for the reason that the Big 8 auditors are disposed to
report any manipulation that they detect during their auditing work. Kent et al. (2008)
revealed that the big 4 auditors and the size of the audit committee are the first governance
mechanisms related with earnings management quality. While the independent audit
committee is a central characteristic for the effectiveness of the financial reporting process. In
the other hand, Chen et al. (2005) showed that an independent audit committee is more
possible to employ industry specialist auditors. Nevertheless, they discovered no significant
association between the audit committee expertise and the employment of industry specialist
auditors. Furthermore, Abbott and Parker (2000) showed that the independent audit
