This research attempts to investigate the impact of a number of financial and non-financial variables on the issuance of qualified audit reports, the identification and analysis of which can be effective in improving and resolving the decision-making problems of stakeholders (auditing organizations, audit firms, auditing standard-setting committees, the stock exchange and securities organization, and current and potential shareholders).
Research Hypotheses: To determine the impact of financial and non-financial variables on the issuance of a qualified audit report and to perform analysis using a neural network, the variables are defined as follows: Main variables include: First main hypothesis: There is a significant relationship between financial variables and the provision of a qualified opinion regarding the financial statements.
Sixth sub-hypothesis: There is a significant relationship between the accounts receivable to assets ratio and the provision of a qualified opinion regarding the financial statements.
We formulate this hypothesis for the independent variables (current ratio, inventory turnover, total debt to total assets ratio, accounts receivable to total assets ratio, company size, type of audit firm, qualification of the previous year's report, current ratio, profit after tax to sales ratio) and, based on these hypotheses, we attempt to reject or accept them, for which the following algorithm is executed.
The results of this research showed that among the hypotheses examined, inventory turnover, total debt to total assets ratio, and accounts receivable to total assets ratio had a significant effect on the qualified auditor's report, which is consistent with the research conducted by Gaganis et al.
