These issues have resulted in rising demands for CG effectiveness. In order to implement the CG, it is necessary to establish the internal audit function (IAF). IAF is actively enhancing the effectiveness of the CG through the implementation of several initiatives. These initiatives encompass upholding a strong ethical culture at the highest level of leadership, preventing and detecting fraud, strengthening internal controls for financial reporting, and providing support to businesses in managing risks. As a result, this research was carried out to investigate the impact of IAF quality determinants on CG effectiveness in Yemeni commercial banks. This research is based on seven dimensions of the independent variable, namely IAF competence, independence and objectivity of IAF, IAF ethics, IAF size, IAF risk consulting, senior management support for IAF, and leadership styles for the Chief Audit Executive (CAE). The effectiveness of Corporate Governance (CG) is the dependent variable in this study. Between IAF quality determinants and CG effectiveness, audit committees’ characteristics (ACs) were identified as a moderator variable. This study applied a quantitative approach. Furthermore, this study employed a questionnaire as a tool to collect the data. The data were collected in a non-random manner from 158 employees of 16 Yemeni commercial banks. The collected data were analysed using SPSS and partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The validity and reliability of the measurement and the structural models were confirmed. The study’s results showed that there was a statistically significant link between the objectivity and independence of IAF, IAF ethics, IAF size, IAF risk consulting, CAE leadership styles, and CG effectiveness. In contrast, the study found no link between IAF competency, senior management support for IAF, and CG effectiveness. The study’s findings also revealed that the characteristics of the AC moderate the relationship between CAE leadership styles and CG effectiveness in a positive manner. However, no moderate effect of AC characteristics was found on the relationship between senior management support for IAF, IAF attributes, and CG effectiveness. The findings constitute a significant contribution to the research on IAF quality determinants that enhance CG effectiveness in developing countries, such as Yemen. Recognizing the components of the IAF that have an influence on CG effectiveness can aid CEOs and internal auditors in identifying areas for improvement in order to meet their objectives. Moreover, the findings of the study might assist managers of commercial banks in Yemen in increasing the efficiency of CG by focusing on the IAF quality determinants that enhance CG effectiveness. In addition, regulators in developing economies, such as Central Banks, may use the findings of this study to increase investor confidence in the banking industry by adopting effective governance reforms in commercial banks and expanding the IAF's role in enhancing CG. Further, this interesting research on IA and CG, conducted in a developing country, could be replicated in other contexts to expand IA and CG research, highlighting the potential for further development.

| summary | Governments, companies, and regulatory bodies have all shown a heightened interest in corporate governance (CG) in the wake of scandals and repeated global financial crises. These issues have resulted in rising demands for CG effectiveness. In order to implement the CG, it is necessary to establish the internal audit function (IAF). IAF is actively enhancing the effectiveness of the CG through the implementation of several initiatives. These initiatives encompass upholding a strong ethical culture at the highest level of leadership, preventing and detecting fraud, strengthening internal controls for financial reporting, and providing support to businesses in managing risks. As a result, this research was carried out to investigate the impact of IAF quality determinants on CG effectiveness in Yemeni commercial banks. This research is based on seven dimensions of the independent variable, namely IAF competence, independence and objectivity of IAF, IAF ethics, IAF size, IAF risk consulting, senior management support for IAF, and leadership styles for the Chief Audit Executive (CAE). The effectiveness of Corporate Governance (CG) is the dependent variable in this study. Between IAF quality determinants and CG effectiveness, audit committees’ characteristics (ACs) were identified as a moderator variable. This study applied a quantitative approach. Furthermore, this study employed a questionnaire as a tool to collect the data. The data were collected in a non-random manner from 158 employees of 16 Yemeni commercial banks. The collected data were analysed using SPSS and partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The validity and reliability of the measurement and the structural models were confirmed. The study’s results showed that there was a statistically significant link between the objectivity and independence of IAF, IAF ethics, IAF size, IAF risk consulting, CAE leadership styles, and CG effectiveness. In contrast, the study found no link between IAF competency, senior management support for IAF, and CG effectiveness. The study’s findings also revealed that the characteristics of the AC moderate the relationship between CAE leadership styles and CG effectiveness in a positive manner. However, no moderate effect of AC characteristics was found on the relationship between senior management support for IAF, IAF attributes, and CG effectiveness. The findings constitute a significant contribution to the research on IAF quality determinants that enhance CG effectiveness in developing countries, such as Yemen. Recognizing the components of the IAF that have an influence on CG effectiveness can aid CEOs and internal auditors in identifying areas for improvement in order to meet their objectives. Moreover, the findings of the study might assist managers of commercial banks in Yemen in increasing the efficiency of CG by focusing on the IAF quality determinants that enhance CG effectiveness. In addition, regulators in developing economies, such as Central Banks, may use the findings of this study to increase investor confidence in the banking industry by adopting effective governance reforms in commercial banks and expanding the IAF's role in enhancing CG. Further, this interesting research on IA and CG, conducted in a developing country, could be replicated in other contexts to expand IA and CG research, highlighting the potential for further development. |
