Abstract This research was conducted to examine the factors that influence company performance, especially those related to the role of corporate governance. With good corporate governance, company performance can grow. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing good corporate governance through the existence of an audit committee, a board of commissioners, and an independent board of commissioners in improving performance. ROA is used to measure company performance. This study focuses on conventional banks registered with OJK in Indonesia from 2019-2021. Purposive sampling was used for the sampling technique, and 41 samples were Multiple linear regression was the analytical method used to test the hypothesis. Keywords: Audit Committee. Board of Commissioners. Independent Commissioner. Company Performance INTRODUCTION In an increasingly competitive business era, companies are required to maintain and improve their performance. Company company's situation as a whole in a certain period as a result of implemented policies that can affect the activities and productivity of companies that utilize all company resources (Pardanawati et al. , 2. To achieve good company performance, a good corporate governance mechanism is needed (Rahmawati & Sukmaningrum, 2. The Indonesian Institute Governance reveals that good corporate governance consists of several structured systems and efforts that are implemented in response to a company's vital objectives to increase the company's growth consistently over a long period of time (Bukhori & Raharja. Muslih, 2. For investors, information about company performance is a medium that can be used to predict the company's prospects in the Declining performance in the company will result in decreased profits generated. if the profits generated decrease, investors will be reluctant to invest in the company. The implementation of good corporate governance requires several important components, namely the audit committee, the board of commissioners, and a proportion of independent board members. In addition, there is a ratio analysis that can measure a company's performance, especially within the scope of Indonesian banking, namely the ratio analysis of Return On Assets (ROA) as measured by assets whose funds mostly come from public savings funds so that Return On Assets (ROA) representative measurement of banking financial performance (Munir, 2. The first factor that influences company performance in this study is the audit The audit committee is tasked with ensuring that all financial information before it is published to all stakeholders is accurate and reflects the actual situation within the company (Hussain et al. , 2. The audit committee can be seen from the size or number a. ISSN 2798-6489 (Ceta. Juremi: Jurnal Riset Ekonomi ISSN 2798-6535 (Onlin. Vol. 3 No. 2 September 2023 a of members owned by each company. The size of the audit committee is considered to have an impact on the performance of the company because if it is larger, it can carry out its duties and obligations more effectively and efficiently than an audit committee with a smaller size. The second factor is the board of In Indonesia, the board of commissioners, also known as the supervisory board, is a group of individuals appointed by the shareholders to oversee the company's management and provide direction in strategic decision-making. The board of commissioners is responsible for ensuring that the company's activities comply with relevant laws and regulations and that management acts in the best interest of the company and its Commissioners can provide oversight over financial reporting, internal control, and risk management, which can help ensure that financial decisions are made responsibly and with the best interests of the company and its shareholders in mind. And the third factor is the proportion of independent commissioners. According to Boedex . , independent commissioners are members of the board of commissioners who are not affiliated with directors, other members of the board of commissioners, or controlling shareholders and are free from business relationships or other relationships that may affect their ability to act independently or solely in the interests of the LITERATURE REVIEW Agency Theory Agency theory was first put forward by Michael C. Jensen and William H. Meckling This theory discusses the relationship between the principal and the agent. What is meant by a principal is a company owner or shareholder, while an agent is a company An agency relationship occurs when the principal . gives authority to the agent . to make decisions about running the company. This relationship between principal and agent can lead to information asymmetry. This can be because the agent has more information about the condition of the company than the principal. Corporate Governance. Corporate management mechanism based on agency The application of the concept of corporate governance is expected to give trust to agents . in managing the wealth of owners . , and owners will become more confident that agents will not commit fraud for the welfare of agents (Darwis, 2. Corporate governance mechanisms include internal mechanisms . oard structure and managerial ownershi. and external mechanisms . nstitutional In addition, to build an effective monitoring and control system within a company, two parties are needed, namely the audit committee and the independent Audit Committee The Indonesian Audit Committee Association (IKAI) defines an audit committee as a committee that works professionally and independently and is formed by the board of thus, its task is to assist and strengthen the function of the board of commissioners in carrying out the supervisory function of the processes of financial implementation, and corporate governance in Arrangements regarding the number of audit committees for issuers and public companies are regulated in BAPEPAM-LK Regulation No. IX.

According to the findings of Purnomo et al. and Intia & Azizah . , the board of commissioners has a positive effect on financial performance. More independent commissioners will provide a higher level of monitoring, reducing the potential of managers engaging in methods to profit themselves while improving the company's financial performance. As a result, the study hypothesis is H3 : The proportion of independent Commissioners has a positive and RESEARCH METHODS The descriptive research method was employed in this study. Descriptive research is undertaken to discover and explain the features of the variables researched in a given context. Descriptive research is defined as research that is undertaken to discover the value of an independent variable, either one or more independent variables, without drawing comparisons or linking to other variables (Harefa et al. , 2. The Population and the Sample This research's population is the banking industry, which publishes financial statements in the year of study. Purposive sampling was utilized, which means selecting firms based on certain criteria, such as audit committees, boards of commissioners, and independent commissioners, with the sample consisting of 41 conventional bank companies listed on the IDX between 2019 and 2021. Operational Variables Company performance ROA is significant for businesses since it measures a company's capacity to create net profit based on its assets (Saputra, 2022. Wiranthie & Putranto, 2. Furthermore. Amelia and Sunarsi . defined return on assets (ROA) as a metric that gauges a company's success in producing profits. As a result, the higher the ROA, the better the company's success since the rate of return is ROA (Return of Asset. = (Net Income / Total Asset. x 100% Audit Committee The size or number of members held by each corporation reveals the audit The size of the audit committee is said to have an impact on the company's performance since the larger the audit committee, the more effectively and efficiently it can carry out its duties and responsibilities when compared to smaller audit committees. A larger audit committee is also deemed more competent, owing to the rise in size. The audit committee will be made up of several people with diverse talents (Al-Okaily & Naueihed.
