Abstract
Examines whether audit delay of Bangladeshi companies is associated with audit firms’ links with international firms. The study is based on a sample of 115 listed companies of the Dhaka Stock Exchange for the year ended 1998. A non‐parametric tool has been used to find whether any significant difference exists among audit firms. The results of previous studies on audit delay show that firms associated with international audit firms appear to provide motivation for shorter audit delays. However, this study reveals that firms associated with international firms in Bangladesh have longer audit delays with a mean of 6.31 months, whereas the overall mean is 5.86 months.Keywords
