The higher the intensity of the audit committee meeting, the earlier financial reporting supervision occurs. High quality of financial reporting makes the audit period of the financial report audit shorter. The independence of the audit committee does not appear to affects the audit report lag. This is because the object of the examination of the financial statements itself is the annual report. On the other hand, the gender of the female audit committee has a negative effect on the audit report lag. The existence of female gender in the composition of the audit committee plays an important role in shortening the period for completion of audits by independent auditors.Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang peran komite audit terhadap audit report lag.

Dengan menggunakan teknik analisis regresi berganda diketahui bahwa kompetensi komite audit, jumlah anggota komite audit berpengaruh negatif terhadap audit report lag. Semakin tinggi intensitas rapat komite audit, maka semakin dini pengawasan pelaporan keuangan terjadi. Kualitas pelaporan keuangan yang tinggi membuat periode audit laporan keuangan menjadi lebih singkat. Independensi komite audit tampaknya tidak mempengaruhi audit report lag. Hal ini dikarenakan objek pemeriksaan laporan keuangan itu sendiri adalah laporan tahunan. Di sisi lain, jenis kelamin komite audit perempuan memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap lag laporan audit. Keberadaan gender perempuan dalam komposisi komite audit berperan penting dalam mempersingkat jangka waktu penyelesaian audit oleh auditor independen.
