Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Audit Lag, Proftability, and Liquidity on Going Concern audit opinions in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2019-2023. A going concern audit opinion is issued by auditors when there is significant doubt about a company's ability to continue its operations. Audit Lag is measured by the number of days between the end of the fiscal year and the date of the audit report. Profitability is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), while liquidity is measured using is Current Ratio (CR). This research employs a quantitative approach with logistic regression analysis. The results indicate that Audit Lag and Liquidity do not have a significant effect on going concern audit opinions. However, profitability has a significant positive effect, indicating hat companies with higher profitability are less likely to receive a going concern audit opinion. These findings have important implications for company management and stakeholders in understanding financial indicators that may influence auditor's assessments of a company's sustainability.
