The analysis method used is multiple linear regression and simple linear regression. The results showed that simultaneously firm size, leverage, and auditor type has significant on intellectual capital disclosure of 30,8%. Individually testing showed firm size has positive effect and significant on intellectual capital disclosure. Leverage and auditor type has no effect on intellectual capital disclosure. Intellectual capital disclosure has a negative effect and significant on cost of equity capital. This proves that large companies tend to have high capital costs can decreased cost of equity capital through increased intellectual capital disclosure.
