Operating Profit and Loss partially influence Audit Delay with a value of count 3,832 > table 2,018. The size of the Public Accounting Firm partially has no effect with a value of count -1.605 < table 2.018.

The R Square value obtained was 26.0%; the remaining 74.0% was influenced by other factors not examined in this research. Thus, the relationship between the variables in this study has a trim level of relationship. Companies should pay more attention to the timeliness of submitting financial reports, considering the importance of economic reports in decision-making.
