The analysis showed that the interaction between managerial ability and board size was significant and positive, indicating that the positive impact of managerial ability on market value is stronger under larger boards of directors. Audit committee characteristics showed no significant moderating effect on the relationship between managerial ability and firm value. There was a negative relationship between managerial ability and information asymmetry, and a significant relationship between governance mechanisms, managerial ability, and information asymmetry.The study recommends that organizations focus on the importance of selecting managers with high managerial capabilities (gender, age, educational and professional background, personal skills, and individual beliefs), as this will have many positive effects for all stakeholders, the most important of which is improving the company's information environment and increasing its transparency.
