To this end, we conducted semi-open interviews with capital market experts and financial experts, and went so far as to saturate the number of interviews. In this study, 13 people saturated the level of interviews.According to the interview process and the selection of the community of experts and then the analysis of the interview through open and axial and selective coding, we finally have access to a model with specific criteria. The results showed that the audit committee is influenced by various causal factors, including the conditions of the audit committee, the rules governing the audit committee and cultural characteristics, which if used properly, we will see more effective audit committees in society.
