Abstract: Abstract Based on a 5 years’ data from 2007 to 2011 of 185 China private real estate companies listed in shanghai and Shenzhen stock market , this paper makes an empirical study on the effects of the deviation between control right and cash flow right on benefit embezzlement. Furthermore, the function of outside director and institutional investor is analyzed. We document that benefit embezzlement is positively associated with the deviation between control right and cash flow right. Then, we find benefit embezzlement is negatively associated with the rate of outside director to directorate, and it is irrelevant to institutional holdings. Furthermore, our results suggest that the influence of deviation between control right and cash flow right on benefit embezzlement is weaker when the rate of outside director to directorate is high.
