Abstract​

This research examines the intricate dynamics of audit report lag (ARL) in the context of politically connected firms within emerging markets, emphasizing the critical role of gender diversity as a potential moderating factor. Audit report lag—the time taken between a firm's fiscal year-end and the release of its audit report—poses significant implications for financial transparency, investor confidence, and market efficiency.
