ملخص المقالة :
هدف این مقاله بررسی ارتباط میان ویژگی‌های کمیته حسابرسی با ارائه به‌موقع گزارش حسابرسی در شرکت‌های پذیرفته شده در بورس اوراق بهادار تهران می‌باشد. مطابق با تئوری علامت‌دهی، ارائه به‌موقع صورت‌های مالی از سوی شرکت‌ها، دارای محتوای اطلاعاتی بوده و بر ارزش بنگاه اثرگذار است؛ درنتیجه، بررسی عوامل تعیین‌کننده تأخیر در گزارش حسابرسی حائز اهمیت است. تشکیل کمیته حسابرسی و افشاء مشخصات آن از سال 1391 طبق دستورالعمل سازمان بورس الزامی شد؛ بنابراین، در این پژوهش از اطلاعات 201 شرکت پذیرفته شده در بورس اوراق بهادار تهران که مشخصات کمیته حسابرسی خود را افشاء کرده‌اند؛ استفاده شده تا رابطه میان ویژگی‌های کمیته حسابرسی و تأخیر در ارائه گزارش حسابرسی آزمون گردد. روش پژوهش، شبه‌تجربی و از نوع توصیفی- همبستگی می‌باشد. برای آزمون فرضیه‌های پژوهش از مدل رگرسیونی چندمتغیره بهره گرفته شده است. نتایج پژوهش حاکی از آن است که اندازه و سابقه تشکیل کمیته حسابرسی و وجود اعضای دارای تخصص مالی در کمیته‌های حسابرسی با کاهش تأخیر در ارائه گزارش حسابرسی همراه است؛ ولیکن استقلال کمیته حسابرسی و تجربه اعضای کمیته حسابرسی موجب افزایش تأخیر در ارائه گزارش حسابرسی می‌گردد The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the features of the audit committee and timely audit reports of listed companies on the Stock Exchange of Tehran. According to signaling theory, providing timely financial statements by the companies, has informational content and impact on enterprise value; therefore, it is important to investigate the determinants of delay in the audit report. Formingaudit committee and disclosing its specifications, became mandatory till 2012 according to the guidelines of the Stock Organization; thus, in this research, the data from 201 firms listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange which has disclosed their audit committee profile is used to test the relationship between the features of the audit committee and the delay in audit reports. The research method is quasi-experimental and correlational descriptive. To test the hypotheses of the research, the multivariate regression model was used. The results indicate that the size and history of forming audit committee and existence of members withfinancial specializations in audit committees, is related to reducing delays in the audit report; but the independence of the audit committee and audit committee members experience, increased delays in audit report.
