هدف این پژوهش بررسی تأثیر پیچیدگی زبانی و مفهومی گزارشهای مالی بر کیفیت تصمیمگیری اقتصادی سرمایهگذاران با تأکید بر نقش میانجی فاصله انتظارات حسابرسی است. این پژوهش از نظر هدف کاربردی و از نظر روش توصیفی–پیمایشی است. جامعه آماری شامل 118 نفر از حسابرسان، مدیران مالی و حسابداران بود که با استفاده از پرسشنامه 60 گویهای مبتنی بر مقیاس لیکرت پنجدرجهای مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. برای تحلیل دادهها از مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری با نرمافزار SmartPLS استفاده شد و روایی و پایایی ابزار با شاخصهای آلفای کرونباخ، پایایی ترکیبی و AVE تأیید گردید. نتایج نشان داد پیچیدگی زبانی اثر منفی و معناداری بر کیفیت تصمیمگیری دارد (β = −0.48, p < 0.001). پیچیدگی مفهومی اثر مثبت و معناداری بر فاصله انتظارات حسابرسی نشان داد (β = 0.52, p < 0.001) و فاصله انتظارات نیز بهطور منفی بر کیفیت تصمیمگیری اثر گذاشت (β = −0.36, p < 0.001). همچنین پیچیدگی مفهومی بهطور مستقیم کیفیت تصمیمگیری را کاهش داد (β = −0.41, p < 0.001) و اثر غیرمستقیم آن از طریق فاصله انتظارات معنادار بود (β_indirect = −0.19). مدل ساختاری از برازش مطلوب برخوردار بود (CFI = 0.928، RMSEA = 0.046). پیچیدگی گزارشهای مالی بهصورت مستقیم و غیرمستقیم، از مسیر افزایش فاصله انتظارات حسابرسی، کیفیت تصمیمگیری اقتصادی سرمایهگذاران را تضعیف میکند.
