This study empirically analyzes the relationship between managerial overconfidence and audit report delay. In other words, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between managers' overconfidence and audit report delay in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. For sampling, the systematic elimination method was used, and the required data was tried to be collected in the period of 2015 to 2019 using the classic regression analysis method. The data of the present research was prepared from Rahvard Navin software.
