The state government of Maharashtra has been at the forefront in creating a conducive business environment that fosters globally competitive firms. Business reforms introduced both by the Central as well as the state government have played a critical role in India’s 30 spots improvement in the Doing Business ranking for 2018.
The State, under the Business Reforms Action Plan (BRAP) 2016, has implemented over 90 per cent reforms in 7 out of 10 parameters, including labour registration, utility connections, single window system, environment registration, among others. These policy reforms have significantly helped in the reduction in time and cost of doing business for the industry, thereby
establishing Maharashtra as one of the top investment destinations in the country.
This report provides the key highlights of the select initiatives on ease of doing reforms in Maharashtra. With a view to provide on-ground impact of these initiatives, the Report also captures industry views on various aspects of business reforms.
The government of India has, in the past few years, accorded an utmost priority to the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB). The accent is on simplification of regulations and use of technology to make the compliance more efficient for businesses. Apart from the Centre, the States are also being encouraged to implement business reforms in the spirit of competitive federalism, to foster reforms at the sub-national level. The measures are aimed at creating a conducive business environment, which is a key to facilitating growth and creating jobs. Thanks to these measures, India’s EoDB ranking, captured by the World Bank, has improved by 42 spots since 2014 to touch the 100th position now. The Prime Minister envisions India among the top 50 nations in the next couple of years.
While business reforms are being undertaken at a rapid pace and large scale, cutting across Central as well as state levels, it is imperative that awareness about these developments is created among stakeholders and regular feedback is generated to address the gaps in the implementation of reforms. Identification of pending issues and suggesting possible solutions are equally vital. It is also important to identify the best practices within and outside the country, which are considered for implementation by the needy states.

The Effect Of Profitability, Company Size, Auditor Reputation, And Leverage O...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Audited financial statements are one of the information that plays an important role in the
investment business in the capital market. The audit completion process also affects the quality of financial
reports. This reflects the importance of timeliness in presenting financial reports to the public. Various
constraints that affect timeliness can come from internal and external companies. Therefore this study aims to
determine the effect of profitability, company size, auditor reputation, and leverage on Audit Delay in Property
and Real Estate Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2021. This study uses secondary
data that can be accessed through the Indonesia Stock Exchange website (www.idx.co.id) in the form of
financial reports and company annual reports. The data analysis technique used is the classical assumption test,
t test, F test and multiple regression analysis using SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Science)
version 26. The sample of this study consisted of 88 companies in the Property and Real Estate Sector and the
sampling method was carried out by purposive sampling method. Using this method, a sample of 21 companies
was obtained with an observation period of 3 years (2019- 2021). The results of this study show that company
size has an effect on audit delay while profitability, auditor reputation, and leverage have no effect on audit
delay.

The results showed that beta=0.652 with the p values of 0.00 and t value of 4.906 which is greater than 1.96. Since the p value is less than 0.05, the researcher confirmed the positive hypothesis and saying that Control Environment affect financial performance. On the other side, the results showed that beta=0.513 with the p values of 0.00 and t value of 4.699 greater than 1.96. Since the p value is less than 0.05, the researcher observed the positive hypothesis and conclude that Control Activities affect financial performance. Lastly, as per the table no.14, beta=0.852 with the p values of 0.001 and t value of 3.493 greater than 1.96. Since the p value is less than 0.05, the researcher observed the positive hypothesis and conclude that Internal Audit affect financial performance. The researcher recommends the following due to the results from respondents There is still a need in in preventing corruption existing in paying taxes whereas some businesses do not pay the exact amount of taxes they should pay due to corruption. Most of the times, these types of businesses can be classified into two categories. The first category includes business owners who do not expose all commercial activities they are running. There is a need in sensitizing Rwandans about the use of taxes. They are used for different purposes including building infrastructure, education, and healthcare, just to name a few. Lastly, the government of Rwanda should introduce a system that prevent people from tax evasion. One more highlight that I can give here is like how the introduction of speed governors limited the number of accidents. There is a need in introducing a new system that can bring changes and discourage tax evaders.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

I. INTRODUCTION
Public companies have an obligation to submit their financial statements to the public. Submission of
the financial statements is the impact of an agency relationship between corporate managers with the investors.
Jamaan (2008) states that the financial statements serve as a measuring tool, assessment as well as monitoring
the performance of agents in maximizing the welfare of the principal. The obligation to submit the financial
statements of public companies in Indonesia has been regulated by the Regulation of BAPEPAM LK Number
X.K.6 of 2006.
BAPEPAM LK Regulation No. X.K.6 of 2006 explains that the company's financial statements that
must be submitted to the public must meet the accounting standards established by the Indonesian Institute of
Accountants and must be audited by public accountants. The regulation also explains that the company must be
able to submit its financial statements before the time limit specified in order not to get sanction as has been
arranged.
The company's obligation to publish audited financial statements poses a new problem for the company
in relation to the timeliness of the submission of the specified financial statements and the time required to
produce an independent auditor's report. This is because the process of generating independent audit reports
takes time. The time required by an independent auditor to audit the financial statements ultimately leads to a
phenomenon called audit delay.
Audit delay is a phenomenon experienced by all public companies in Indonesia. The delay audit is the
time span required by the independent auditor to be able to complete the audit report on the fairness of the
company's financial statements from December 31 to date on the independent auditor's report (Rachmawati,
2008). Audit delay can be a problem if the audit delay range that occurs in a company is too long which can
ultimately lead to delays in the delivery of financial statements. The phenomenon of audit delay in Indonesia is
also a problem for some public companies in Indonesia.
Information from the Economic Balance Sheet website (www.neraca.co.id) states that in 2013 there
were 52 public companies that are late in the process of delivering financial statements in 2012. Furthermore, in
2014 there were 49 public companies late reporting financial statements for the year 2013 (www.kontan.co.id).
Furthermore in 2015 there are 52 companies late to submit 2014 financial statements (www.neraca.co.id) and by
2016 there are 63 public companies on the IDX that are late reporting financial statements for 2015
(www.ipotnews.com). Delays in the delivery of financial statements in the end make the company must accept
the sanctions imposed by the IDX. Table 1 presents a summary of the number of companies late in presenting
the financial statements.

2014 49 companies 530 companies 9,25%
2015 52 companies 547 companies 9,51%
2016 63 companies 581 companies 10,84%
Number of public companies in Indonesia late in submitting financial reports indicate a high enough
fairly serious problems related to the late submission of financial statements of public companies in Indonesia.
The delay in the delivery of these financial statements is due to the delayed audit delay period in some
companies. Range of audit delay time occurring within a company can be suppressed by maximizing the role of
the parties directly related to the financial statement audit process like audit committees, internal auditors and
the independent auditor of the company.Therefore, this study aims to re-examine the influence of audit
committees, internal auditors, and independent auditors on audit delay. This study also aims to examine the
moderating effects of complexity on audit committee relations, internal auditors, and independent auditors of
audit delay.
II. HYPOTESIS DEVELOPMENT
2.1. The Effect of the Audit Committee to Audit Delay
The audit committee is one of the internal mechanisms of Corporate Governance which is generally
under the authority of the company's board of commissioners. The decision of the National Committee on
Governance Policy (2006) states that the audit committee is a group of individuals who have a responsibility in
assisting the auditor in maintaining its independence from management. Thus, the audit committee within the
company can improve the reliability of the company's financial statements because it is free of possible
manipulation by managers.
Reliable financial statements will result in the task of independent auditors in conducting audits
become easier and faster, so the audit delay time range to be short. Hashim and Rahman (2011) stated that the
independence and competence of the audit committee affect the audit delay, while Apadore and Noor (2013)
state that the audit committee size, and Rianti and Sari (2014) state that the number of members, competencies
and gender proportions of the audit committee Negatively affect audit delay. Based on the explanation, the first
hypothesis of this research is as follows:
H1. The audit committee has a negative influence on audit delay
2.2. The Effect of the internal auditor to Audit Delay
The internal auditor is a part of the internal control form within the organization. Bapepam-LK No.
IX.I.7 (2008) states that the internal auditor is a unit that is responsible for giving the confidence and the
consultation process independently and objectively in order to increase the value and the company's operations
with a systematic approach. Thus, the company's internal auditors can create an effective corporate operations.
Suharni et al (2013) states that the number of members and experience of the chairman of internal auditors
affect the timeliness. Timeliness of a company's financial statements relates to the timing of the completion of
the independent auditor's audit report on the financial statements. Thus, the number of members and experience
of the chief internal auditor also affect the audit delay. Based on the explanation, the second hypothesis of this
research is as follows:
H2. The internal auditor has a negative influence on audit delay
2.3. The Effect of the independent auditor to Audit Delay
An independent auditor is an auditor from an external party company in charge of auditing the
company's financial statements. Mills (1990) states that an audit by an independent auditor is a form of
monitoring to reduce agency problems and increase company value. Thus, the public company's financial
statements should be audited to avoid the impact of agency problems and may increase investor confidence.
An independent auditor who audits the financial statements should have good quality so that the audit
delay is not too long. The quality of the independent auditor can be measured from the size of the Public
Accounting Firm and the duration of the engagement. Panjaitan et al (2013) states that large-sized public
accounting firms will have a wealth of skilled auditor resources and good audit work systems. The length of the
auditor's engagement with the company also affects the duration of an audit process. Ashton et al (1987) states
that the longer the Public Accounting Firm's engagement with the company, the shorter the audit delay period
that occurs. Based on the description, then the third hypothesis for this research is as follows:
H3. The independent auditor has a negative influence on audit delay
3. Determinant of Audit Delay: Evidance from Public Companies in Indonesia

2.4. Moderation Effects of Audit Complexity on Relationships between Audit Committee, Internal
Auditor, Independent Auditor, and Audit Delay
Audit complexity including contingency variables that need to be considered in the implementation of
corporate control system. The complexity of an audit at a company can be due to the complexity of transactions
owned by a company. The complexity of a company's transactions is based on the number and location of the
operations unit (branch) as well as the diversification of products and markets (Ariyani and Budiartha, 2014).
Audit complexity can be due to the number of subsidiaries owned by a company. Ahmad and Abidin (2008)
explain that the number of client subsidiaries has an impact on the timeliness of the delivery of financial
statements, this is because auditors need more time in performing its audit tasks at companies with more
complex operations. Audit complexity can also be due to firm size. Kurniawan (2011) states that the operational
complexity, variability and intensity of corporate transactions is influenced by the size of the company.
The audit committee may be the party conducting the supervision related to the financial information
and the financial statements of the company. BAPEPAM Regulation No. IX.I.5 of 2012 explains that the audit
committee is responsible for conducting a review of the company's financial information and audit
implementation by internal auditors, and complaints related to the company's accounting process. Audit
committees in companies with high complexity will have more complicated tasks than audit committees in
companies with low audit complexity. This is because audit committees in companies with high audit
complexity will conduct more complex financial information and accounting processes.
The internal auditor is the party assisting the audit committee in conducting supervision on the
company's internal control. BAPEPAM Regulation No. IX.I.7 year 2008 explains that internal auditor is a unit
that conducts evaluation process to internal control company independently to increase value and effectiveness
of company in accounting, finance. The high audit complexity of an enterprise will impact on the duties and
responsibilities of the company's internal auditors. This is because the system of control and transactions in
companies with high audit complexity will be more complicated than companies with low audit complexity, so
that internal auditors will take longer to conduct the process of evaluation and supervision thoroughly against
the control system and corporate operations.
The independent auditor is a party directly related to the audit process of the company's financial
statements, so the company must be able to appropriately choose a reputable independent auditor in order to
provide benefits to the company. Mills (1990) states that an independent auditor performs an audit process with
the aim of reducing agency and corporate value issues. The high audit complexity at the company affects not
only the audit committee and internal auditors of the company but also affects the independent auditor. An
independent auditor auditing a company with high audit complexity will take longer to obtain sufficient
information and knowledge to provide an appropriate audit opinion. Thus, the timing of the audit completion
process will become longer.
The explanation indicates that the influence of audit committees, internal auditors, and independent
auditors is determined from the level of complexity of corporate audits. Thus, the fourth hypothesis of this study
is as follows:
H4a. Audit complexity moderates the influence of the audit committee on audit delay.
H4b. Audit complexity moderates the influence of the internal auditor on audit delay.
H4c. Audit complexity moderates the influence of the independent auditor on audit delay.

followed by the addition of moderating variables. This research is a basic research research. Basic research
begins with hypothesis testing, deeper assessment, and conclusion (Jogiyanto, 2011: 7).
3.2. Population and Sample
The population used in this study is a public company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX),
while the research sample used is a company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) period 2013-2015.
The technique used to determine the sample in this study is purposive sampling. The criteria used for sample
determination in this study are among others:
1. Public companies are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in a row from 2013 to 2015.
2. Annual reports and company financial statements are available and accessible on the Indonesia Stock
Exchange website
3. In the company's annual report available data required research include data on the audit committee, public
accountant, internal audit, audit complexity, and audit delay.
3.3. Research Data
The research data used in this research is secondary data, that is data in the form of annual reports
obtained from the official website of Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is www.idx.co.id. Data collection
techniques used in this study is documentation.
3.4. Operational Definition of Variables
3.4.1. Audit Delay
Audit delay is measured by calculating the time between the closing date of December 31 fiscal year until the
publication of the independent audit report on the number of days (Rachmawati, 2008).
3.4.2. Committee Audit.
The audit committee variables in this study were measured using five indicators: audit committee
members (KOA1), audit committee financial expertise (KOA2), meeting frequency (KOA3), audit committee
independence (KOA4), and gender proportion (KOA5). The selection of these five indicators is based on
research from Hashim and Rahman (2011), Apadore and Noor (2013), and Rianti and Sari (2013). KOA1 by
counting the number of members of the company's audit committee. KOA2 is measured by calculating the
percentage of audit committee members who have an accounting and financial background. KOA3 is measured
by counting the number of audit committee meetings for a year. KOA4 is measured by calculating the
percentage of independent members of the audit committee. KOA5 is measured by calculating the percentage of
women on the audit committee.
3.4.3. Internal Auditor
Internal auditor variable is measured by using three indicators: number of internal auditor member
(AI1), education level of internal auditor unit chairman (AI2), and experience level of internal auditor unit
(AI3). Indicator indicators of internal auditors are based on previous research (Suharni et al, 2013). AI1 is
measured by counting the number of members of the company's internal auditors. AI2 is measured using ordinal
scale ie 1 for associate’s degree, 2 for bachelor degree, 3 for master degree, and 4 for doctoral. AI3 is measured
by counting the number of years the experience of the chairman of the internal auditor from the appointment
year to the chairman of the internal audit at the company until the year of study.
3.4.4. Independent Auditor
Independent auditor variables are measured using two indicators: the size of the Public Accounting
Firm (AIND1) and the length of the engagement (AIND2). The selection of indicators from independent
auditors is based on research by Rustiarini and Sugiarti (2013). AIND1 is measured using a nominal scale of 0
for the Non Big Four Public Accounting Firm and 1 for the Big Four Public Accounting Firm. AIND2 is
measured by calculating the year of the Public Accounting Firm's engagement with the company from the year
of commencement until the year of the study.
3.4.5. Audit Complexity
The moderation variable in this study is audit complexity. Variable complexity of the audit in the study was
measured using two indicators: the number of subsidiaries (KA1) and the size of the company (KA2). The
selection of both indicators of audit complexity is based on Karang (2015) and Lestari (2015). KA1 is measured
by calculating the number of subsidiaries owned by the company directly. KA2 is measured using the natural
logarithm of the total assets of the firm.

3.4.6. Firm Age
The company age in this study is used as control variable. The variable of firm age in this study was measured
by calculating the difference between the year of research period and the year the company started its operations
(Apriyanti and Santosa, 2014).
3.5. Statistic Method
This research uses variance-based structural model (Partial Least Square). This research uses the help
of WarpPLS 5.0 program in performing data processing. The process of testing phases of this hypothesis is
based on the rules of Baron and Kenney (Jogiyanto, 2011: 101). The research hypothesis will be accepted if the
value of p value ≤ 0.05 (5%) and coefficient value correspond to the hypotesis direction for the one tailed test.

4.3. Outer Model testing
The outer model test consists of variable validity test and reliability test. Outer model test begins by
testing the validity of variables consisting of convergence and convergence validity test discriminant validity.
The first test of the outer model is the convergence validity test. Convergence validity test aims to determine the
level of correlation indicators that form a variable (Jogiyanto, 2011: 70). Convergent validity test is based on the
loading factor value of each indicator that makes up a variable. Terms used to measure an indicator passed the
convergence validity test that is the loading factor value of the indicator must be more than 0.7 and the value of
p value less than 0.05. A variable indicator that has a loading factor value of less than 0.7 should be omitted.
Table 4 presents the loading factor values of each indicator.
Table-IV: Factor Loading Value

KOA1 0,833 <0,01

UMP 1,00 <0,01
Indicators of KOA variables that have a factor loading value greater than 0.7 and p value 0.05 are just
two indicators (KOA1 and KOA3). The indicator of the variable AI that has a factor loading value over 0.7 and
p value 0.05 is only two indicators (AI1 and AI2). The indicators of the AIND variable all have a factor loading
value over 0.7 and p value 0.05 (AIND1 and AIND2). Indicators of all KA variables have a factor loading value
greater than 0.7 and p value 0.05 (KA1 and KA2). Thus, the KOA2, KOA4, KOA5 indicators of the KOA
variable and the AI3 indicator of the AI variable are removed from each variable. The result of value loading
factor and p value of each indicator after eraser some indicators that do not meet the requirement of convergent
validity are presented in table 5.

Test the validity of variables which further conducted is the test of discriminant validity. The
discriminant validity test is based on the comparison of AVE root values of each variable with the correlation
value of one variable with the other. AVE root value must be greater than the correlation value between
variables with each other. The AVE root values of each variable are shown in table 6. The AVE root values
show a larger value than the correlation values between variables with each other on a single variable. Thus, the
six variables have passed the discriminant validity test. This shows that there is no high correlation between
variables with each other.

UMP 0,287 0,302 0,095 0,192 -0,323 (1,000)
The second test of the outer model testing process is the reliability test. This study emphasizes the
value of composite reliability compared with the value of croncbach alpha. The value of composite realibility is
considered better in the estimation of internal consistency of a variable (Jogiyanto, 2011: 72). The value of
composite realibility for each variable is presented in table 7. Table 7 shows that all variables have composite
realibility values above 0.7. Thus, all variables have passed the reliability test. This implies that the size of each
variable has been accurate, consistent, and precise.
Table-VII: The Value of Composite Realibility
Variable CR
Audit Committee (KOA) 0,855
Internal Auditor (AI) 0,764
Independent Auditor (AIND) 0,745

Audit Delay (AD) 1,000
4.4. Goodness of Fit
The second test after outer model test is goodness of fit model. The goodness of fit test is based on the
p value of APC, ARS, and AARS which should be less than 0.05 and the AVIF and AFVIF values should be
less than 5. Table 8 shows the p value of APC, ARS, AARS and the value of AVIF and AFVIF which form the
basis of fit model assessment.
Table-VIII: Goodness of Fit
Value p-value
Average Path Coefficient (APC) 0,123 0,004
Average R Square (ARS) 0,284 <0,001
Average Adjusted R Square (AARS) 0,269 <0,001
Average Variance Inflation Factor (AVIF) 1,516 -
Average Full Variance Inflation Factor (AFVIF) 1,574 -
Table 8 shows that the p value values of APC, ARS, and AARS are all less than 0.05, respectively 0.004;
<0.001; <0.001. Thus, the research model is appropriate or supported (fit) with research data. The value of
AVIF and AFVIF values are 1.516 and 1.574. The value of AVIF and AFVIF indicate that there is no
multicollinearity in this research model.
4.5. Inner Model testing
The inner test model is based on R squared (R2) and Q squared (Q2). The value of R square (R2) for
the inner equation of this research model is 0.284 which means that the variation rate of the dependent variable
variables can be explained by the independent variables is 28.4%, while the rest is explained by other variables
outside the proposed model. The value of Q square (Q2) for the inner equation of this research model is 0.283
which is more than zero, so the research model has good predictive validity.
4.6. Hypotesis Testing
Hypothesis testing in this study follows the rules of Baron and Kenney. The result of hypothesis testing
has been done shows that there are three accepted hypothesis and three rejected hypothesis. The accepted
research hypothesis is H1, H2, and H4b. The rejected research hypothesis is H3, H4a, and H4c. Table 9 presents
the results of hypothesis testing research that has been done as follows:

KA*KOAAD 0,008 0,436 Two tailed
KA*AIAD -0,123 0,007 Two tailed
KA*AINDAD - - Two tailed
Table 9 shows that hypothesis H1 is accepted because it has coefficient value of -0.224 and p value less
than 0.05 that is equal to <0.001. This indicates that the audit committee proved to have a negative influence on
audit delay. Thus, the better the audit committee quality the shorter the audit delay period.
Table 9 shows that hypothesis H2 is accepted because it has coefficient value of -0.109 and p value less
than 0.05 that is equal to 0.0075. This indicates that the internal auditor proved to have a negative influence on
audit delay. Thus, the better the quality of internal auditors the shorter the audit delay time range.
Table 9 shows that H3 hypothesis is rejected because it has p value greater than 0.05 ie 0,066. This
indicates that the independent auditor is not proven to have a negative influence on audit delay.
Table 9 shows that H4a is rejected because it has a value of p value greater than 0.05 that is equal to
0.436. This indicates that the complexity of the audit is not proven to have a moderating effect on the audit
committee's influence on audit delay.
Table 9 shows that H4b is accepted because it has a value of p value less than 0.05 which is 0.007 and
the value of value coefficient is -0.123. This indicates that audit complexity is shown to have a negative
moderation effect on the influence of internal auditors on audit delay. Thus, the higher the complexity of audit
the smaller the influence of internal auditors on audit delay.
Table 9 shows that independent auditor variables are not included in moderation testing because
independent auditor variables have no effect on audit delay. This is based on the Baron and Kenny rules
(Jogiyanto, 2011: 101) independent variables that have no influence on the dependent variable can not be tested
on moderation testing. Thus, the hypothesis H4c is directly rejected. This indicates that there is no interaction
between audit complexity and the independent auditor in influencing audit delay. Based on the results of
hypothesis testing of this study, then the final equation of this study are as follows:
V. DISCUSSION
5.1. The Effect of the Audit Committee to Audit Delay
The negative impact of the audit committee on audit delay can occur due to the agency relationship
between the investor and the company manager. The audit committee is a party established with the aim of
reducing the occurrence of agency problems between the principal and the agent. Jensen and Meckling (1976)
argue that agency problems that occur in agency relations are information asymmetry (information asymmetry)
and conflict of interest (conflict of interest). Thus, the audit committee is formed to reduce the existence of
information asymmetry and the conflict of interest that occurs between the principal and the agent.
Rule IX.1.5. The Decree of the Chairman of Bapepam in 2012 states that the audit committee is
responsible for assisting the board of commissioners in relation to internal control, internal audit, external audit
monitoring, and financial information reporting. Thus, the application of a good audit committee to the company
will be able to create reliable financial statements. Reliable corporate financial statements will ultimately
facilitate and accelerate audits conducted by independent auditors. This is because the opportunities of
independent auditors in finding material misstatements will be smaller, so the audit of financial statements will
be shorter.
5.2. The Effect of the Internal Auditor to Audit Delay
Internal auditors have a negative influence on audit delay because the internal auditor's role is
important in reducing the chances of manipulation in the financial statements due to the agency problem in the
agency relationship through the evaluation and control process. The agency issues that occur in agency relations
are information asymmetry and conflict of interest (Jensen and Meckling, 1976). The internal auditor is
responsible for providing independent and objective consultation and consultation processes in order to improve
the company's value and operations systematically, through the process of evaluating and improving the
effectiveness of internal control and good corporate governance (BAPEPAM-LK Rule Number IX.I.7, 2008).
Thus, the process of evaluation and control by the internal auditor will result in the company's activities free of
deviation. The operational process of the company that has been free from deviation will make the financial
statement information generated by the company increasingly in accordance with applicable accounting
9. Determinant of Audit Delay: Evidance from Public Companies in Indonesia
www.ijbmi.org 20 | Page
standards. The condition of the financial report of the company that has been in accordance with the applicable
accounting standards will facilitate and accelerate the audit process conducted by the independent auditor,
thereby shortening the audit delay timeframe.
5.3. The Effect of the Independent Auditor to Audit Delay
The third hypothesis test results of this study did not prove empirically the argument that the size of the
public accounting firm of the Big Four requires a shorter time to conduct audits more efficiently and flexibility
that is higher (Gilling, 1997). The result of the third hypothesis of this study also failed to demonstrate
empirically the argument that public accounting firm that has an engagement longer in a company will have
information and sufficient knowledge of the information, so that it will shorten the audit process conducted
(Panjaitan et al, 2013 ). The result of the third hypothesis is also contrary to the explanation of agency theory
that a link between problems in the agency relationship and the audit by an independent auditor. Mills (1990)
states that an audit by an independent auditor is a form of monitoring to reduce the agency problem and enhance
shareholder value.
The results of the third hypothesis test of this study do not succeed in proving empirically the argument
of the linkage between independent auditors with audit delay based on agency theory and arguments from some
previous research can be caused by several reasons. The first reason is the increase in competition between
Public Accounting Firm. Tighter competition nowadays makes all Big Four or Non Big Four Public
Accountants strive to provide services with a high level of professionalism (Rustiarini and Sugiarti, 2013). Thus,
the size of the Public Accounting Firm can not be the only indicator to determine the quality of the independent
auditor. The second reason is the length of the Public Accounting Firm's engagement with the public company
that is being sampled for too long reaching the maximum length of engagement that has been set in the PMK
No. 17 of 2008. The assignment of the Public Accountant Office or the same public accountant for a long time
to reach the maximum limit The specified engagement will cause the auditor to become less independent and
professional while performing his duties, so that the independent auditor can not complete the task in a timely
manner and extend the audit delay timeframe (Rustiarini and Sugiarti, 2013).
5.4. Moderation Effects of Audit Complexity on Relationships between Audit Committee, Internal
Auditor, Independent Auditor, and Audit Delay
The audit complexity is not proven to have a moderating effect on the audit committee's impact on
audit delay because the audit committee is not directly involved in the audit process whether audited by an
internal auditor or an audit conducted by an independent auditor. Rule Number IX.I.5 of 2012 states that the
audit committee is in charge of assisting the board of commissioners to supervise internal audit and external
audit of the company. Thus, the number of subsidiaries and company sizes that may affect the complexity of the
audit will have no significant impact on the improvement of the audit committee's duties.
The audit complexity variables have moderate effects on the influence of internal auditors on audit
delay because audit complexity is a contingency factor that needs to be considered in the application of the
company's internal control system. Fisher (1998) states that the design of the company's control system depends
on the organizational context that exercises such control. Thus, the complexity of the audit can affect the
performance of internal auditors as one of the parties who have responsibilities related to corporate control.
The audit complexity variables formed by firm size and number of subsidiaries proved to have no
moderating effect on the independent auditor's relationship to audit delay because in this study the independent
auditor variable has no effect on audit delay. Thus, the 4c hypothesis of this study is directly rejected. Thus, the
results of this study indicate that there is no interaction between audit complexity and independent auditors in
affecting audit delay.
VI. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
This study is aimed at testing and proving the influence of audit committee, internal auditors, and
independent auditors to audit delay. This study also aims to examine the moderating effects of audit complexity
on the influence of audit committees, internal auditors, and independent auditors on audit delay. The study was
conducted on 130 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2013 until 2015, so the number of
observations made is 390 cases.
Audit delay range that occurs in 130 public companies listed on the Stock Exchange during 2013-2015
is 6 days to 179 days. This indicates that the audit delay duration experienced by public companies may result in
delays in the delivery of financial statements. Thus, the delay time of this audit delay should be of particular
concern to company managers.
The results show that only audit committee and internal auditor can influence the company's audit
delay range. The results of this study indicate that the better the quality audit committee and internal auditor
company, the shorter the audit delay time range. The results did not succeed in proving that independent

auditors could influence audit delay ranges. The results also show that audit complexity only moderates the
influence of internal auditors on audit delay.
VII. RECOMMENDATION
Limitations of this study need to be considered as a basis for evaluation in the development of the next
research. The first limitation of this research is related to the availability of information concerning internal
auditors of public companies. Data on internal auditor information from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock
Exchange are still very rarely found in the company's annual report. Thus, further research can combine
secondary data with primary data. The second limitation is related to the decrease in the number of companies
used as research samples because it has data outliers. Number of companies that have data outlier is 6
companies from 136 companies that meet the criteria sampling or about 4.41%. Thus, further research is
suggested to use STATA software assistance to overcome outliers.
