Today, the importance of the interaction between the audit committee and the internal audit is clear and of great importance. One of the functions of the audit committees is to review and monitor the management's response to the recommendations and findings of the internal audit. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the characteristics of the audit committee and the perceptions of the implementation of internal audit recommendations. Therefore, by using the data obtained from the review of senior internal auditors from the sample companies, it was concluded that the greater understanding of the implementation of audit recommendations strongly depends on the existence of independent members of the audit committee and the expertise of the members in auditing and accounting. The results showed: a) the perceptions of the implementation of internal audit recommendations are influenced by frequent meetings between the audit committee and senior internal auditors b) the greater the expertise of the members of the audit committee, the more likely the implementation of internal audit recommendations is c) the negative correlation between the size of the committee there are audits and the implementation of internal audit recommendations d) three dimensions (appointment, review 1, review 3) are positively related to the implementation of internal audit recommendations, but they are not significant e) independence and members with knowledge of accounting and auditing They have a significant impact on the implementation of internal audit recommendations.
