<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of company size, profitability, audit opinion, and company age on audit delay in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Audit delay refers to the time span between the end of the fiscal year and the completion date of the audit report, which can affect the relevance of financial information for all stakeholders. This study uses a quantitative method with secondary data obtained from annual financial reports. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, and data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. The independent variables tested include company size, profitability, audit opinion, and company age, while the dependent variable is audit delay. The results show that partially only audit opinion has a significant effect on audit delay. This means that the type of audit opinion received by a company can extend the audit process. Meanwhile, company size, profitability, and company age do not show a significant effect on audit delay. This finding provides insight that external factors in the form of audit opinions have a greater impact on the time required in the audit process compared to internal company factors. This study is expected to contribute to auditors, company management, and investors in understanding the factors that influence the timeliness of financial reporting, as well as the importance of maintaining the quality of audit opinions to accelerate the completion of audit reports. Furthermore, the results of this study provide insight that companies with more complex audit opinions tend to require longer audit processes. Therefore, companies must improve transparency and accuracy in their financial reports to minimize the likelihood of an adverse audit opinion.]]>
