The main findings are as follows: The relationship between environmental uncertainty and the cost of capital is positive and high quality internal control helps to alleviate the tension of the above positive relationship, especially for the companies held by institutional investor specialization, the effect of high quality internal control to alleviate such relationship between environmental uncertainty and the cost of capital is greater.
