Abstract
. Related party transactions are important corporate actions with the highest incidence rate of all issuers' corporate actions listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Related party transactions' intensity allows minority holders' expropriation right and affects company's value. This study aimed to analyze the determinants affecting related party transactions' intensity in companies in the business groups in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The determinants were ultimate shareholders, good corporate governance (with independent commissioner and the Big Four public accounting firms as proxies), debt to equity ratio, and period of crisis. This study used panel data with quarterly time period from 2006 to 2013. Samples were determined by purposive sampling focusing on companies' typology, namely companies in the three business groups representing the market capitalization's three layers. The results showed that ultimate shareholders insignificantly had positive effect on related party transactions' intensity. Independent commisioners and debt to equity ratio significantly had positive effect on related party transactions' intensity. The Big Four public accounting firms significantly had negative effect on related party transactions' intensity. Period of crisis insignificantly had negative effect on related party transactions' intensity. The determinants as a whole have an effect on the intensity of related party transactions.
