Abstract

Many previous researchers have studied the factors causing audit delays such as company size, nature of company, audit firm size, industry specialization and etc, and the results are still inconsistent. Even researchers found that this phenomenon is still happening as many public companies did that listed on the Indonesian stock exchange. This study aims to determine the effect of industry specialization, audit opinion and size of Public Accounting Firm (KAP) on Audit Delay with firm size as a moderating variable. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and involved 33 mining companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange. The data analysis method used moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results showed that Industrial Specialization had a positive effect on audit delay. Audit opinion does not affect audit delay. The size of the Public Accounting Firm (KAP) has a positive effect on audit delay. Firm size has no effect on audit delay. Our assumption that firm size is a moderating variable is not proven.

Industry specialization audit opinion public accounting firm size (KAP) company size and audit delay.
