Abstract

This study analyzes differences in KAM disclosure based on auditor and audit committee characteristics in Indonesia. The variables include auditor type, auditor specialization, audit committee size, financial expertise, meeting frequency, and the independent audit committee. Using a quantitative approach with secondary data from financial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2022–2024, this study analyzes 299 observations. A non-parametric method, namely the Mann–Whitney test, is used to assess differences in KAM disclosure. The results show significant differences based on auditor specialization, audit committee size, and financial expertise, but no significant differences based on auditor type, meeting frequency, or the independent audit committee.
