Paper Title
BITCOIN TRADING VOLUME AND AUDIT REPORT LAG

Abstract
Abstract - This study investigates the relationship between audit report lag (ARL) and bitcoin trading volume in financial assets. Using a dataset spanning 10 European nations from 2013 to 2020, we discover that greater Bitcoin usage reduces audit report delays. This article contributes to the body of research on audit risk and crypto assets. The findings imply that we will witness a rise in stakeholder participation due to timely audited information. Policymakers will better understand how to utilize disruptive technologies to mitigate the negative effects of ARL. Keywords: Blockchain; Cryptocurrency; Bitcoin; Audit Report Lag
