This study investigated the effect of audit quality on the financial performance of Nigeria Deposit Banks for the period of 2005 to 2015 (11years). Specifically, the study assessed the effect of audit report lag, audit fee, audit tenure, audit firm size on the financial performance of listed deposit bank in Nigeria. The study used secondary data obtained from the bank’s annual reports for the period of 11years (2005 to 2015). Ordinary least square regression was used with the aim of explaining and predicting empirically the relationship between audit quality variables and financial performance of the financial institutions.
Furthermore, the study used the ordinary least square regression model. The results of ordinary least square regression model reveal that audit report lag, audit tenure and audit firm size has significant positive effect on the financial performance of the listed deposit banks in Nigeria, while audit fees and earnings per share have insignificant relationship with the financial performance. The regression results indicated that the variables of audit quality including the control variables explained about 73% of the total variation in the financial performance of listed deposit banks in Nigeria during the period covered by the study.
