Abstract. This study aims to determine the effect of financial performance and the effectiveness of the audit committee on financial distress. The research object used in this study is financial performance, effectiveness of the audit committee and financial distress. The subjects in this study were manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). This research method is a descriptive verification method with a quantitative approach. This study uses secondary data with a sample of 45 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) for the 2017-2019 observation period or 145 observations. Hypothesis testing uses multiple linear regression analysis. The test results show that financial performance has a significant effect in a negative direction on the company's financial distress.
