The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of quality of management discussion and analysis (MD&A) disclosure on stock price crash risk. The MD&A can be seen to reflect the management's intention on public announcement and reveals directly what the management says to communicate with outside investors. A firm's high-quality MD&A implies the management's commitment to communicating with the market, not allowing the managers to have incentives to hoard unfavorable news, which if revealed to the public, may lead to downward stock price corrections, damaging corporate values. The high-quality MD&A is, thus, likely to reduce the stock price crash risk. We use a logistic regression to test whether MD&A influences crash risk using listed companies in the Korean Stock Exchange (KSE) stock market between 2010 and 2013. Findings of the empirical test show that the higher the quality of MD&A, the less likely crash risk appears, implying that the MD&A disclosed adequately can be one of the factors mitigating firm's stock price crash risk. This study has implications as it presents the MD&A disclosure as a factor influencing stock price crash risk and suggests voluntary disclosure as well as mandatory disclosure acts as a variable that explains the risk of stock price crash.

The relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and earnings management is still a debate. Several previous studies showed that CSR is a determinant of earnings management. Meanwhile, others revealed the reverse. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of CSR disclosure on earnings management and the effect of earnings management on CSR disclosure. This study was conducted with mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the 2016-2019 period. The research data was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The data is obtained from financial statements, annual reports, and sustainability reports. The results reveal that there is a positive relationship between CSR disclosure and earnings management. This study also shows that the relationship model of CSR disclosure and earnings management is recursive. This finding implies that CSR disclosure is a tool used by management to cover up unethical actions from stakeholders. These results verify the agency theory and opportunist hypothesis regarding the relationship between CSR and earnings management. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting the recursive model of the relationship between CSR and earnings management.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between accruals quality and managers' choice on the type of voluntary disclosure. Design/methodology/approach - Samples of this study are 8,248 firm-year observations listed in Korea Stock Exchange. Poisson regression analysis was hired in order to analyze the association between disclosure frequency and accruals quality because the dependent variables are count data. Findings - First, this study finds that managers' use of non-earnings-related type of voluntary disclosure is negatively related to accruals quality while their use of earnings-related disclosure is positively related to accruals quality. Second, discretionary accruals quality as well as innate accruals quality is significantly associated with disclosure frequency. Research implications or Originality - This study extends the line of research by incorporating the content of voluntary disclosure, earnings- and non-earnings-related information. The results of this study suggest that accruals quality may play a role in the choice of disclosure manner when investigating managers' voluntary disclosure.

Examining whether the relationship between proprietary information cost and management's disclosure decision is also valid for domestic companies is expected to provide meaningful implications for investors and regulatory authorities. However, there are no domestic studies related to proprietary information costs so far. This study examines whether managers tend to lower the disclosure level at their discretion in consideration of proprietary information costs. This study used the measurement quality of disclosure to examine whether managers tend to lower the disclosure level at their discretion in consideration of proprietary information costs. As a result of empirical analysis, it was confirmed that there is a negative relationship between proprietary information cost and the quality of disclosure. This suggests that management tends to make disclosure decisions in consideration of not only the benefits of disclosure but also proprietary information costs resulting from disclosure in order to maximize corporate value. These findings are expected to have significant implications for investors and related policy authorities.

ESG에 대한 논의가 유럽 및 여러 국가에서 활발히 이루어지고 있는 가운데 최근에는 상장회사의 비재무 정보와 관련된 ESG 정보공시의 의무화를 추진하는 국가들이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 하지만, 기업들이 글로벌 ESG 정보공시 의무화에 대응하는 데에 있어서 글로벌 ESG 공시기준의 요구사항이 까다롭거나 데이터 관리의 복잡성과 ESG 제도 자체에 대한 이해 및 준비가 부족한 문제점들이 나타나고 있다. 또한, 기후변화로 인한 기업경영의 기회와 위험요인이 기업의 재무 영향에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 합리적인 분석을 요구하고 있어 공시기준에 부합하는 결과를 분석하기까지는 상당한 어려움이 예상된다. 이처럼 ESG 경영활동 및 정보공시 업무 등의 업무를 수행하려면 다양한 유형과 출처의 데이터가 필요하며 이를 투명하게 측정하고 오류 없이 취합하여 누락 없이 관리하기 위해서는 정보시스템을 통한 관리가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기업의 ESG 활동을 ESG 정보공시를 통하여 다양한 이해관계자들에게 투명하고 효율적으로 전달되기 위해서 다양한 관련 지표와 데이터를 통합 관리하기 위한 ESG 데이터 통합관리 모델을 설계하였으며 주요 프로세스별로 ESG 업무와 관리를 처리하기 위한 정보시스템 구현을 위한 프레임워크를 개발하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 ESG 공시업무에 어려움에 당면한 기업에게 ESG 정보공시를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 실무적인 차원에서 도움을 줄 수 있다. 또한, ESG 공시업무 프로세스 분석을 통한 데이터 통합관리 모델 제시 및 ESG 정보공시를 지원하기 정보시스템의 개발은 향후 ESG를 연구하는 데에 필요한 학술적인 측면에 연구에 의의가 있었다.

While there a growing interest in Voluntary Carbon Disclosure (VCD), comparatively little is discussed whether the improved quality of voluntary carbon disclosure can lead to subsequent changes in a company's carbon reduction performance. Drawing on companies under the Korean Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) with the contents analysis of their sustainable reports, the present research seeks to address the existing knowledge gaps in the current literature on environmental disclosure. Findings empirically show that an increase in the voluntary carbon disclosure score is positively transformed into changes in carbon performance and further develop that the effect of voluntary carbon disclosure on carbon performance varies depending on changes in management capability with the moderation effect.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) has an impact on auditors' audit efforts. MD&A is a means of disclosure that provides information about a company from the management's perspective in financial reporting. The MD&A is a standardized format of nonfinancial information that can be useful for the stake-holders. The auditors have incentives to utilize the nonfinancial information contained in the MD&A for their decision-making. We posit that the MD&A disclosure quality is associated with the level of audit efforts. Methods: We hand-collect the disclosure data from the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea (the Korean SEC). Results: By employing two measures of audit efforts, we document evidence that the quality of MD&A is associated with both audit hours and audit fees. Conclusion: It implies that the auditors perform intensive audit work for companies with high-quality disclosure of MD&A. The study contributes to the literature by providing the first approach to examine the association between the MD&A disclosure and audit efforts.

The Management Discussion and Analysis(MD&A) provides investors with an opportunity to gain insight into the company from a manager's perspective and enables short-term and long-term analysis of the business. And MD&A is an important channel through which companies and investors can communicate, providing a useful source of information for analyzing financialstatements. MD&A is measured by the quality of disclosure and there are many previous studies on the usefulness of disclosure information. Therefore, it is very important for the financial analyst who is the representative information user group in the capital market that MD&A Disclosure Quality is measured in real-time in combination with IT information technology and provided timely to financial analyst. In this study, we propose a method that real-time data is converted to digitalized data by combining MD&A disclosure with IT information technology and provided to financial analyst's information environment in real-time. The real-time information provided by MD&A can help the financial analysts' activities and reduce information asymmetry.

This study extends research into whether disclosure of corporate and financial information is associated with firms' costs of equity capital. This study sets out to examine empirically the determinants of corporate disclosure in the annual reports of 37 largest and most liquid firms listed on Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) in Kazakhstan. It also reports the results of the association between company-specific characteristics and disclosure of the sample companies. Based on the analysis of existing empirical research, the disclosure index has been constructed and regression analysis of the influence of the disclosure index on the cost of equity capital has been conducted. The obtained results show that the received findings correlate with foreign empirical studies, and the disclosure index in this sample has a negative impact on the cost of equity capital. Using cost of equity capital estimates derived from capital asset pricing model, we find that firms with higher levels of financial transparency are associated with significantly lower costs of equity capital. Economic theory assumes that by increasing the level of corporate reporting, firms not only increase their stock market liquidity, but also decrease the investors' estimation risk, arising from uncertainty about future returns and payout distributions. The results show that firms on the Kazakhstan market can reduce their cost of equity capital by increasing the level of their voluntary corporate disclosures.
