These delays are concerning audit report lag duration from fiscal year-end until auditor’s report is issued because audit duration could be longer, the greater the likelihood that a company will exceed 90-day filing maximum set by OJK Law. Therefore, aim of researcher’s study is examining influence of financial distress, operational complexity, and audit quality on audit report lag. This quantitative applied secondary type of data from financial statements also annual reports related to property & real estate companies registed on IDX during 2021-2025 period. Researcher filtered samples by purposive sampling, to reach 73 companies and 365 observations. Grover score analyzed financial distress, subsidiaries’ number to measure operational complexity, and audit firm size to measure audit quality (Big Four and non-Big Four). To analyze study data, researcher applied panel data regression with REM via EViews 13.
