Abstract:
The study is based on positivism research philosophy and it assesses the moderating effect of audit quality on the relationship between board dynamics and firm value in listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria from 2010 to 2019. The study adopts descriptive research design with ordinary least square technique for the analysis. It was found that moderated board magnitude has negative and significant effect on firm value which signal reduction in the wealth of the shareholders while moderated board diversity has positive and significant effect on firm value however, moderated board proficiency has no significant effect on firm value. Based on the finding, it therefore means that audit quality gives credence to the financial reports of an organization therefore, oil and gas companies should engage the services of reputable audit firms that can monitor the activities of the board in order to improve their firm value. Also, women directors due to their different experiences are expected to have different perspectives than men in some fields and some segments of the market. Therefore, those firms without female representation should endeavor to bring in female director(s) so as to enjoy such benefit in their organization.
