PENGARUH FINANCIAL DISTRESS, AUDIT LAG DAN AUDIT TENURE TERHADAP OPINI AUDIT GOING CONCERN
Abstract
Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of financial distress, audit lag, and audit tenure on going-concern audit opinions in consumer cyclicals companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. This research was motivated by inconsistencies in previous findings regarding the factors that influence auditors in issuing going-concern opinions. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive associative method using secondary data derived from financial statements and independent auditor reports. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 17 companies with a total of 68 observations. Data analysis was conducted using the Fixed Effect model through EViews 12 software. The results of this study show that financial distress, audit lag, and audit tenure, both simultaneously and partially, do not have a significant effect on going-concern audit opinions. These findings indicate that the three variables are not the primary factors considered by auditors in assessing a company’s business continuity.
