I find a significant correlation between tbe proportion of internal audit staff to total employees and firm value in terms of Tobin's Q. To Japanese banks, the importance of internal audit has increased since the Inspection Manual for Deposit - Taking Institutions was established in 1990's. My finding suggests that the size of internal audit has presently become one of significant factors to determine firm value in Japanese regional banks.}, pages = {31--43}, title = {地域銀行の内部監査と企業価値}, volume = {62}, year = {2014} }
