The findings of this study showed that FCF negatively influences AU). Institutional ownership weakens the negative relationship between FCF and AU. Contrarily, managerial ownership strengthens the negative relationship between FCF and AU. This study also found that family ownership strengthens the negative relationship between FCF and AU.
