The sampling technique used is the purposive sampling method. Based on the study's results, (1) CFO's educational background does not affect audit report lag. (2) Profitability has a positive effect on audit report lag. The limitations of this study are the possibility of other independent variables that can explain in more detail the audit report lag phenomenon.
