Abstract
The accuracy and timeliness of information in financial statements help investors make prompt and effective decisions. This study is conducted to provide an empirical evidence for a relationship between the timeliness of financial reporting and characteristics of 100 companies listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange in the period 2012 - 2014. The findings show that the number of subsidiaries and the complexity of activities (representing the structural characteristics), change in annual profitability (representing financial characteristics) and audit opinion affect the timeliness of financial reporting.
