Resumo: The main objective of this research is to examine empirically the existence of a significant relationship between the level of voluntary disclosure of information and the cost of equity capital of Brazilian non-financial companies. It is expected that a greater level of disclosure is related to a lower cost of capital by reducing the risk perceived by investors. In order to measure the level of voluntary disclosure of the companies, a questionnaire  developed for this purpose was used. The cost of equity capital was obtained from publicly available information. A negative and significant relationship between the variables of interest was found, indicating that companies that disclose more information voluntarily has a lower cost of equity capital.

É esperado que um maior nível de disclosure esteja relacionado a um menor custo de capital próprio pela redução do risco  percebido pelos investidores. A fim de medir o nível de disclosure voluntário das empresas foi utilizado um questionário desenvolvido para este fim. O custo de capital próprio foi obtido com base em informações publicamente disponíveis das empresas. Foi encontrada uma  relação negativa e significante entre as variáveis de interesse, indicando que as empresas que mais divulgam informações voluntariamente conseguem captar capital próprio a uma taxa mais barata.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2012-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionscientific articleAvaliado pelos paresartigo científicoapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/read/article/view/38470Electronic Review of Administration; Vol. 17 No. 3 (2011): Edição 70 - set/dez 2011; 617-635Revista Electrónica de Administración; Vol. 17 Núm. 3 (2011): Edição 70 - set/dez 2011; 617-635Revista Eletrônica de Administração; v. 17 n. 3 (2011): Edição 70 - set/dez 2011; 617-6351413-23111980-4164reponame:REAd (Porto Alegre.
