This paper examines the impact of audit quality and internal corporate governance mechanisms on segment disclosure. It uses manual content analysis to measure the levels of disclosure for a sample of Egyptian-listed companies from 2015 to 2023. It provides evidence that audit quality, joint audit, gender diversity, and board independence have a positive impact on the segment disclosure level. In contrast, audit opinion, foreign directors, and military background directors have a negative impact on the segment disclosure level in Egypt.
