This study, therefore, examines the voluntary corporate governance disclosure and corporate governance mechanism in Malaysia for the period of 2012 to 2015, to analyze the effects of new corporate governance reforms: Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance 2012. This study aimed to achieve three objectives: Firstly, to examine the voluntary corporate governance disclosure practices among Malaysian listed property companies; Secondly, to assess the corporate governance mechanism among Malaysian listed property companies; and lastly to evaluate the influence of corporate governance mechanism on the level of voluntary corporate governance disclosure of Malaysian listed property companies for the period of 2012 to 2015. By using quantitative methods, this study investigated balanced panel data of 85 Malaysian listed property companies for the period of 2012 to 2015. By employing bivariate correlation and multiple regression analysis on panel data, the study found that board size, board independents, female board of directors, audit committee size, audit committee meetings, audit committee independence and company size positively and significantly influence the level of voluntary corporate governance disclosures.
