This research contributes to the literature review, analyzing the relationship between the board characteristics, audit firms, and a set of indicators taken as proxies of performance. Based on a dataset of 124 non-financial companies, a linear model was regressed. We found that some characteristics of board of directors significantly influence the companies\u2019 performance. These new insights can also provide new guidelines for policy makers towards the establishment of new common rules and principles that accurately grant the efficiency of corporate governance mechanisms and ensure the desired international comparability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22495\/cocv13i2c2p6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,13]],"date-time":"2016-12-13T14:38:41Z","timestamp":1481639921000},"page":"454-460","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The influence of diversity on boards on profitability: an overview across Iberian non-financial listed companies"],"prefix":"10.22495","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0612-8801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Il\u00eddio Tom\u00e1s","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4204-0185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Duarte Pitta","family":"Ferraz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3433-4805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Manuela","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"9787","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Ahern, R., K. and Dittmar, A., K.
