The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of corporate (internal and external indicators) on audit report timeliness. The methodology used in this research is multiple linear regression. In conclusion, the result of this research suggested that board of commissionersindependence, audit committee size, audit committee meeting, firm performance, auditor type, and audit opinion have significant association with audit report timeliness.
