Description

Corporate governance and corporate reporting are closely linked to each other, and their respective evolutionary patterns are mutually influencing.

Along with the recent expansion of company disclosure, a growing attention is being paid to corporate governance determinants and mechanisms underpinning the decision to voluntarily adopt non-financial disclosure formats, such as integrated reporting.

At institutional level, several national corporate governance codes have been changed towards the recognition and inclusion of this innovative, non-financial language.

In academic research, the influence of corporate governance variables vis-à-vis the choice to embrace such reporting practices has been subject to a long scrutiny.

However, only a little inquiry has so far analysed the influence of corporate governance factors on integrated reporting adoption, quality, and credibility.

Accordingly, the aim of the book is to investigate if, and to what extent, corporate board composition and characteristics can affect, at the same time, the decision to voluntarily adopt integrated reporting by companies as well as their financial performance.

The study carries out an empirical analysis of the professional features of board members at the time of their decision to implement integrated reporting as a new form of company accountability.

The work provides innovative insights into the articulated relationships between the quantitative and qualitative composition of corporate boards and the latter’s choice to uptake this advanced form of reporting to represent the wider value creation processes of their organisations.
