The check list consists of 71 indices through six sections of background information, summery of historical results, key non-financial statistics, segments information, projected information and management discussion and analysis. Moreover, cost of capital variable is measured by using Gordon model. To test research hypotheses multivariate regression with panel data is utilized. The results show that there is no significant relationship between voluntary disclosure level and cost of capital of 122 listed companies of Tehran Stock Exchange during 2003-2011.
