Abstract

This paper utilizes unique data on internal control (IC) from China to investigate whether and how female representation on corporate boards affects IC quality in the post-COSO 2013 era. We find that female board members enhance the quality of the IC system, especially the information & communication and monitoring components. We also find that reducing financial constraints serves as a mechanism through which this beneficial effect operates. These findings are novel and are expected to have profound practical and policy implications.
