摘要
This paper evaluates the effects of board financial expertise on the financial sustainability of Saudi non-financial listed companies. The research sampled data from 97 companies covering 2013 to 2022 and analysed the data using different econometric models. The research findings indicated a strong and positive impact of board financial expertise on sustainable performance. This outcome implies that financial sustainability may increase as the number of finance specialists on the board rises. The evidence supports agency framework, resource dependency, and upper echelons theories. These frameworks argue that stringent monitoring, technical advice, and intellectual competence of finance specialists may positively influence organisational outcomes. Practically, the results indicated that Saudi-listed firms should emphasise employing financial specialists on their boards to boost their value and attain sustainable growth. The study may also guide managers and regulators on the relevance of financial experts in promoting sustainable practices.
