Abstract

This study aimed to identify the impact of audit committee characteristics on voluntary risk disclosure and to discover the moderating effect of family ownership on the relationship between audit committee characteristics and voluntary risk disclosure. Its population is represented by Jordanian commercial banks registered and operating in Jordan from 2017 to 2023. Significantly, it concluded by revealing that the characteristics of the audit committee, namely, independence, experience, and committee size, obviously impact the disclosure of voluntary risk in the selected banks. However, the results made it obvious that the number of audit committee meetings did not affect the degree of voluntary risk disclosure. In addition, the results reveal that family ownership moderately affects the relationship between some audit committee characteristics and voluntary risk disclosure.
