Abstract
This study examines the effect of audit tenure, Public Accounting Firm (KAP) size, and profitability on audit delay, with audit opinion as a moderating variable. The research objects were energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2019–2023 period. The sample was determined through purposive sampling, resulting in 47 companies or 235 observational data. The analysis was conducted using moderated regression with the help of Stata 15. The results showed that KAP size had a significant negative effect on audit delay, while audit tenure and profitability had no significant effect. Audit opinion was shown to moderate the effect of KAP size on audit delay, but did not moderate the effect of audit tenure and profitability.
