Board of directors is the core of corporate governance, and one of the main functions of board of directors is to establish audit committee to ensure the company’s earnings quality and financial reporting. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of audit committee with accounting experts on the loan spread in the syndication loan market.This study is based on a sample of US companies during 2000-2012. The results show that earnings quality is negatively associated with loan spread, and this is more pronounced when the proportion of accounting experts on the audit committee is higher.Keyword: Audit參考文獻 劉威廷,2006,獨立董事及監察人之設置與債務資金成本關聯性之研究,國立政治大學會計研究所碩士論文朱倩瑩,2007,應計品質和獨立董監事專業知識背景的關係,國立台灣大學會計研究所碩士論文An, S.
