Why is it important?

The timeliness of annual reports is a crucial for decision's makers; thus, it is essential for those who responsible in regulating and preparing these reports to contribute for achieving the timeliness. However, a delay in disseminating these reports is still practiced. Therefore, providing evidence in how the characteristics of CEO improve the timeliness of annual reports has theoretical and practical implications for many stakeholders.
