These factors include company's profitability, indebtedness, size, type of the sector that company belong to, and company ownership. The study has done on a sample of (93) stock company that registered in Saudi Financial Market for the year (2008), represented in the industrial, service, and agricultural sectors. To measure proportion level of voluntary disclosure, a list of (137) items that represent basic items of voluntary disclosure has been used. Results have been the most important, although there is a variation between the amounts of voluntary disclosure of the companies of sample, for there is a positive phenomenon between Saudi Stock Companies towards voluntary disclosure. Results revealed in respect of the factor's impact on the trend of Saudi Stock Companies to voluntary disclosure that there is a positive statistical significant relationship between company indebtedness and proportion level of voluntary disclosure, and so company size, when testing each variable separately. Also the study revealed negative statistical significant relationship regarding company ownership.
