ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY (A4BES): HARMONIZING ACCOUNTING FOR THE INTERESTS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND NON-SHAREHOLDER STAKEHOLDERS

The purpose of this study is to introduce a framework that assists corporate managers in transforming the promised benefits of sustainability reports into future financial performance by aligning the interests of shareholders and non-shareholder stakeholders. This descriptive study proposes a framework to investigate the stakeholder harmonization process undertaken by managers, with a pilot study focusing on Indonesian mining companies using content analysis methodology. The study hypothesizes that managers' disclosures in sustainability reports reflect their success in achieving stakeholder harmony. Modern corporate managers accomplish stakeholder harmonization by reporting on both financial performances and non-financial performances, I called them Business Ethics and Sustainability (ABES) performances. They provide outcome-based performance information on A4BES performances. The study found that Indonesian mining companies typically disclose more information than required by the capital market regulation on sustainability reporting. Mining managers, categorized as conventional managers at the second level of the stakeholder harmonization process, report over 50% of A4BES accounts but often omit outcome-based performance information. This study extends sustainability accounting literature on stakeholder theory by examining how management processes balance the interests of shareholders and non-shareholder stakeholders.

BEYOND THE NUMBER: TONE ANALYSIS IN ANNUAL REPORTS

In making decisions, stakeholders utilize not only quantitative information but also qualitative information, such as annual reports. However, annual reports in narrative form are often used to exaggerate company performance data. One aspect that influences stakeholders’ decision is tone. This study aims to examine the impact of positive tone disclosure in management analysis reports and discussions on company value. This study was conducted on 166 financial and property companies listed on the IDX. Management analysis and discussion reports were categorized according to their tone. Using linguistic inquiry and word count software (LIWC-22), the procedure yielded more precise and consistent analysis. Financial data used to determine the value of company was the price-to-book-value (PBV) ratio. The results of the test using robust regression analysis showed that the positive tone disclosure with an informative nature had a positive influence on the company’s value. This finding suggests that managers must use positive tones when regulating the company's situation in order to maintain the expected value of company.

Does Readability of Textual Disclosures in Modern Slavery Reports Pay Off? Evidence from a Regulatory Setting

This study examines the association between textual disclosure readability in modern slavery reports and firm value. Using 212 Australian modern slavery statements for the financial year 2019–2020, a positive association is found between more readable textual disclosures in modern slavery reports and firm value.

The study also informs various regulators (e.g. Australian Border Force, Australian Securities and Investments Commission [ASIC], European Union [EU] and United Kingdom [UK] government agencies, etc.) and international organisations about firm-level efforts to promote high-quality reporting on the modern slavery risk.

The value of corporate social responsibility practices in a world more concerned about sustainability: A literature review

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been seen as an opportunity to increase reputation, cost savings, business and financial opportunities, and create economic and sustainable value. The purpose of this review is twofold: first to draw attention to the complex relationship between common CSR practices used to deal with critical issues for our society and the impact they have on the trust and loyalty of stakeholders. Second, based on a study of 91 documents, to identify the advantages/weaknesses of implementing recognized standards (ISO 14001, ISO 26000, GRI, SA8000, AA1000) in different sectors of the economy. The standards provide a guideline for the elaboration, disclosure, and evaluation of the transparency reports of CSR. Some indicators used to measure CSR are more focused on environmental topics but recognizing social justice as a priority is critical to promoting the well-being of internal and external stakeholders. Furthermore, CSR standards play a crucial role in our world because they encourage ethical behaviors that reinforce the values and integrity of our society. The future research agenda should be oriented to monitor the impact of CSR initiatives in complex scenarios, consider the voices of non-specialized stakeholders, and integrate approaches that make visible the consequences of these practices.

Reporting cybersecurity to stakeholders: A review of CSRD and the EU cyber legal framework

The purpose of this article is to explain, through a doctrinal review of the EU sustainability and cybersecurity legal framework, how the cybersecurity obligations contribute to the cybersecurity content and quality of the sustainability reporting. Previous studies are limited to voluntary cybersecurity disclosure in annual reports because they date back to before the adoption of CSRD. The CSRD harmonized sustainability reporting in the EU and introduced the ESRS, the standards for sustainability disclosure. As stated in the ESRS S4, the sustainability reporting should now address how the company manages the risks linked to data usage and data collection. Therefore, cybersecurity measures must be included in the sustainability report. This information can be used by stakeholders to assess the risk appetite and the potential long-term profitability of the company. The cybersecurity measures adopted by companies must comply with the cybersecurity obligations of the EU legal framework. While it is out of the scope of these cybersecurity obligations to inform ex ante the stakeholders of a company of how the company is managing cyber risks, these same obligations can improve the quality and content of the sustainability discourse.

Disclosure of internal control evaluation reports of Chinese enterprises: History, problems and strategies

In the realm of corporate finance, the transparency of internal control evaluations significantly impacts investor trust, market efficiency, and governance. This study examines the evolution of internal control report disclosures among Chinese listed firms, tracing their shift from voluntary to mandatory within two decades, aiming for international alignment. Utilizing descriptive analytics, data trend analysis, and visualization, we identify critical flaws in current disclosure practices, including reporting delays, incompleteness, inconsistencies, and non-standardized evaluation criteria. These shortcomings undermine the reports' quality and reliability, emphasizing the need for a unified conceptual framework and standardized reporting protocols to improve disclosure quality. Our findings highlight the essential role of enhanced internal control disclosures in advancing corporate governance and market integrity. The paper suggests that addressing these issues could significantly benefit the investment landscape. It calls for further research, possibly through quantitative analysis and case studies, to develop more effective disclosure strategies.

To Change or Not to Change: The Informativeness of REIT Annual Reports

Increasingly similar corporate disclosures may fail to provide potential investors with adequate information about a company to facilitate astute, informed, and/or rational decision making. In light of this repeatedly expressed SEC concern, the current investigation uses a sample of 1,910 annual report (10-k) filings by 234 separate equity REITs from 2000-2020 to examine the impact of year-over-year linguistic similarity on the perceived information content of corporate disclosures. Consistent with the aforementioned concerns, we document a significant increase in the degree of REIT annual report similarity over time. Despite this trend, we find that innovations in annual report disclosures remain directly related to observable changes in both the operational complexity and financial position of the firm. Furthermore, these innovations engender significant market reactions including changes in options trading activity, annual report readability, and the firm’s cost of equity capital. Lastly, these findings are both robust to the inclusion of alternative information channels and are significantly more pronounced within informationally opaque market settings. In sum, we find REIT annual reports remain a value-relevant source of information for market participants.
