    • Using a sample of 6,464 firm-year observations from selected countries in South East Asia from 2013 to 2018, this study attempts to explore the financial determinants and the impact of regulatory environment on corporate cash holdings by applying pooled ordinary least squared regression and panel data analysis. Furthermore, the study is conducted in two phases. The first phase studies the relationship of cash holdings with financial factors while the second stage addresses the impact of regulatory environment on cash holdings. Based on the regression results, size, cash flows, working capital, and leverage negatively influences cash holdings while growth, cash flow variability, and dividend payments have positive relationship with cash holdings. Furthermore, consistent with the research’s argument that better regulatory environment leads to lower costs and better operating results allowing firms to save higher levels of cash, our second research model shows that better regulatory environment have a positive effect on a firm’s cash holdings.
