Abstract: This study aims to empirically investigate the influence of voluntary disclosure on financial reporting quality of Islamic banks in Yemen. The study uses an un-weighted disclosure index, comprising 266 items. Financial reporting quality (FRQ) is measured by two models namely, Jones (1991) (FRQJONM) and Dechow and Dichev (2002) (FRQDDMD), while voluntary disclosure level is considered as an independent variable. The results show that FRQJONM has a significant effect on financial ratio (FINRAT), financial statement information (FINSTIN), corporate social disclosure (CORSD), and other information (OTHINF). In regards to FRQDDMD, the outcomes indicated that general knowledge (BAISCG), financial ratio (FINRAT), other information (OTHINF), and bank size (BANSIZE) have a significant impact on FRQDDMD. The study has significant implications in developing economies for both individual and financial institutional investors, regulators, and policymakers. The study adds a new contribution to Islamic finance industry, particularly in Yemen and for all other countries interested in the Islamic way of finance.
