Keywords:
Accounting, Finance, LogsticsAbstract
This study identifies variables that influence compilation report timeliness in governments. Logistic regression is used to estimate effects of several variables of interest on the incidence of filing reports after state filing deadlines. Ordinary-least-squares regression is used to estimate the effect of those variables on the time it takes to file compilation reports with the state auditor’s office. The number of auditors’ findings was found to be associated with longer compilation report delay and late compilations. Travel distance between the auditor’s office and the client’s office was found to be associated with longer compilation report delay and late compilation reports.
