This paper is aimed to review the effects of financial professional expertise of the auditIn this study, we investigated the effect of audit committee members’ financial expertise on the relationship between the environmental risks of the company (including financial risk, operational risk and business risk) and the audit fee of the company. Thus, after explaining the theoretical foundations and implementation of hypotheses of the research, we selected 101 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange TSE) through screening for a period of 7 years (2012-2018). We extracted required data, and then examined the classical assumptions of linear regression. Finally, we tested the implemented hypotheses by using multivariate linear regression.Findings showed that audit committee members’ financial expertise has a negative and significant relationship with audit fee and environmental risks of the company however; such a relationship does not weaken the severity of the direct relationship between environmental risks and the audit fee of the company.

The timing of an annual report announcement is a disclosure decision that managers must make. The users recognize timeliness as an important characteristic of usefulness of accounting information. In this research, we investigate relationship between a set of explanatory variables (such as returns on equity, changs of stock return, financial risk and size) and timing of annual financial reporting. we have used the financial data of 88 firms listed at Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE), that have analyzed for during 2004 to 2010 by using of the Panel Data System and Ordinary Least Square Regressions (OLS) Model. The results of regression show that timeliness in reporting by TSE listed companies is influenced by their profitability. We find that returns on equity and changes in stock returns are positively associated with the annual financial reports earlier and financial risk and changes in financial risk are negatively associated with the annual financial reports earlier. In addition, the results indicate that the timing of annual report releases is significantly affected by company size.
