This research work aims at whether or not structure of board director has an
immediate effect on voluntary disclosure concerning financial or non-financial data, and
defining the degree of this effect. To achieve this aim, the researchers developed
an index
against which voluntary disclosure may be measured, in the field of study represented by
eleven private Syrian banks.
The researchers applied their study to the community of banks, including all banks.
The study covered the last six years for each bank, starting from 2009-2014.
The index consists of 32 items, divided into two subsidiary groups (Financial and
non-financial data).
The study adopted a strategy of testing the study hypotheses, using analysis
regression method. The variant of audit committee has been adopted because the sample
under study did not indicate any differences.
Studying the relationship between structure of board director variables and voluntary
disclosure including the index as a whole, it was found that there is a positive relationship
indicating statistical remarks, between profitability variable and voluntary disclosure as a
whole. The rest of structure of board director variables denoted a kind of positive partial
correlation, having no statistical indications. This variable has been noticed between
structure of board director variables and voluntary disclosure as a whole.
