Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of executive compensation, the educational background of the board of commissioners, and the audit committee on the timeliness of financial reporting. The research population includes consumer cyclicals sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2023 period. The research employs purposive sampling and selects 145 observations as the research sample. The data analysis applies panel data regression using EViews 12 software. The results show that the educational background of the board of commissioners significantly influences the timeliness of financial reporting. Companies with commissioners who hold higher educational qualifications tend to deliver financial reports more promptly. In contrast executive compensation and the audit committee do not demonstrate a significant effect on the timeliness of financial reporting. These findings emphasize the importance of commissioners’ educational qualifications as a key factor in improving reporting timeliness compared to compensation incentives or audit committee meeting mechanisms.
