ABSTRACTPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan bukti empiris mengenai pengaruh karakteristik dan rangkap jabatan komite pemantau risiko dan komite audit terhadap risiko kredit perbankan di Indonesia. Kedua komite tersebut merupakan komite di bawah dewan komisaris yang bertanggung jawab terhadap pengawasan pelaksanaan manajemen risiko bank. Karakteristik komite diukur melalui aktivitas, ukuran, keahlian kompetensi berdasarkan checklist yang dikembangkan Hermawan 2011 dengan modifikasi peraturan yang berlaku. Sampel terdiri dari bank yang terdaftar dalam Bursa Efek Indonesia selama tahun 2013 hingga 2017. Hasil dari penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa karakteristik keahlian kompetensi, baik dalam komite pemantau risiko maupun komite audit, memiliki pengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap risiko kredit perbankan. Penelitian ini juga membuktikan bahwa rangkap jabatan dalam komite audit dan komite pemantau risiko memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap risiko kredit, menunjukkan fokus kinerja komite. Sementara, karakteristik aktivitas dan ukuran komite audit maupun komite pemantau risiko tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan. Lebih lanjut, melalui pengujian tambahan, karakteristik keahlian keuangan non-akuntansi memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap risiko kredit, menunjukkan bahwa keahlian ini mampu menunjang monitoring terhadap risiko kredit.
