Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the level of Related Party Transaction (RPT) disclosure is influenced by corporate governance practice (CG), size of RPTs, firm size, auditor quality, and type of industry (that is regulated versus non-regulated), ownership concentration and financial leverage. We find that the extent of RPT disclosure is positively affected by CG practice and is marginally positively influenced by size of RPTs and firm size. These positive impacts primarily occur for relatively large firms. Further test reveals that CG practice, firm size, industry regulation, ownership concentration and financial leverage have significant effect on different components of RPT disclosure.
