Moreover, this research still rarely uses a sample of the financial industry in Indonesia. So, the study aimed to find out block holder ownership effect on tunnelling or propping related party transactions in financial industries in Indonesia. Sample research were 82 financial industries that listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2017-2019 with 246 observations as panel data. Based on panel data regression test, this study found block holder ownership had positive effects on tunnelling related party transactions that proxied by related party transactions related to accounts receivable and related party transactions related to assets other than account receivables. Meanwhile, blockholder ownership had no effect on propping related party transactions that proxied by related party transactions related to accounts payable and liabilities other than accounts payable.
