Audit delays reduced by leverage, but increased by profitability and audit committee.
The study looked at how factors like debt, profits, and the audit committee affect how long it takes for property and real estate companies in Indonesia to complete their audits. They used data from 29 companies over a 5-year period and found that higher debt levels led to quicker audits, while higher profits and a strong audit committee led to longer audit times. They also discovered that the size of the company can change how these factors impact audit delays.
