The Establishment and Empirical Analysis of the Audit Committee System- Focusing on the duties of the Audit Committee

我國從2002年引進獨立董事制度，並於2007年引進審計委員會制度;且要求公開發行股票之證券投資信託事業、綜合證券商、上市（櫃）期貨商及實收資本額達新臺幣100億元以上未滿500億元之非屬金融業之上市（櫃）公司應於104至106年間完成審計委員會之設置。實收資本額達新臺幣20億元以上未滿100億元之非屬金融業上市（櫃）公司應於106至108年間完成審計委員會之設置。本研究將針對已施行近10年的審計委員會制度做一檢視。 本研究採用朱德芳（2013，2014）關於審計委員會制度之研究理念與作法。邀請五位獨立董事做訪談並將訪談內容作整理分析，初步了解臺灣審計委員會實施概況。本研究發現：宜強化審計委員會的功能，以及調整雙軌制漸漸趨向單軌制。The Independent Director System was imported into Taiwan in 2002 and subsequently the audit committee system started in 2007. Public companies, brokerages, listed futures firms and securities firms were then required to establish an audit committee. This new regulation also applied to non-securities firms who has capital between NTD $10Bn and NTD $50Bn. It was stipulated that the changes must be implemented between 2015 and 2017. Furthermore, listed firms whose capital exceeds NTD $2Bn but less than NTD $10Bn must establish audit committees in the period 2017-2019. This thesis intends to review and analyze the implementation of these audit committees. This study adopts concepts put forward by distinguished professor Te-Fang Chu (2013-2014) as well as uses the process she developed to verify the effectiveness of the legislation in the business world. We invited five independent directors to interview and helped us gain a surface-level understanding of the audit committee process.This analysis resulted in two specific recommendations. First, some functions within the audit committee must be strengthened. Second, the two-tier corporate governance system should be flattened to a single tier
