The accuracy and quality of market risk disclosures are important issues because transparency of the bank risk level encourages market control in the form of market discipline and it also improve the quality of risk management carried out internally by the bank. This research measures the quality of Value at Risk disclosures carried out by Indonesian banks.

The empirical test results show that the Value at Risk parametric method using asymmetric volatility have better quality than the Value at Risk Historical Simulation method.
