| 摘要: | 審計委員會為公司董事會的一個專業委員會，紐約證交所與藍帶委員會(Blue Ribbon Committee, BRC)認為審計委員會的終極權利與職責是對會計師進行篩選、評價以及是否適任或撤換，故審計委員會扮演非常重要的角色。本研究根據過去文獻，以中國大陸A股上市公司為樣本，探討審計委員會之設立及其特性，是否會影響會計師出具意見之獨立性。
本研究所探討之審計委員會特性包含審計委員會規模、審計委員會是否具備財會專家以及審計委員會成員持有之股數。實證結果顯示，當中國大陸A股上市公司設立審計委員會且審計委員會規模較小、財會專業比例較高以及持股比例較低時，會計師在對企業出具繼續經營疑慮意見時，較能抵抗管理當局之壓力，以維持其出具保留意見或修正式無保留意見之獨立性。
