This study investigates the impact of ownership structures and audit quality on carbon emission disclosure. It also examines how audit quality affects the relationship between ownership structures and carbon emission disclosure. This research includes 106 standalone sustainability reports from non-financial companies that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2015 and 2018. Our findings show that family and concentrated ownerships convey less information about carbon emissions. Our results fail to demonstrate that disclosure of carbon emissions could be a corporation's approach to respond to stakeholder pressure and public visibility and to provide legitimacy for its existence. We also find a positive and significant association between high-quality (Big4) auditors and carbon emission performance. Our further result suggests that Big4 auditors seem to compromise their high standard quality on auditing family and concentrated ownership firms. They fail to influence their family and concentrated ownership clients to be socially responsible. Policymakers should support the existence of Big4 auditors as a driver of carbon emission performance. Top management should be proactive to tackle carbon emission issues by adopting stakeholder-driven mechanisms and establishing legitimacy with society. Nevertheless, the involvement of family and highly concentrated shareholders in decision-making processes and information disclosure should not be encouraged.

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.

A conflict of interest is usually defined as a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgments or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest. In general, a conflict of interest can be classified as either a financial or a non-financial one. A financial conflict of interest reportedly occurs frequently in medical (and psychiatric) research and practice and is associated with a greater likelihood of reporting results favorable to the intervention being studied. A non-financial conflict of interest may occur in psychiatric research and practice as a result of the so-called "allegiance effect." It is very important that clinicians and researchers in the field of psychiatry be aware that their field is vulnerable to both financial and non-financial conflicts of interest. Considering that it is impossible in modern psychiatry to be completely free from possible conflicts of interest, the best way to manage a conflict of interest is disclosure based on the principles of transparency. Actions that might lead to conflicts of interest should be avoided as much as possible.

IFRS에 따른 재무제표 작성은 연결재무제표의 주재무제표화, 원칙중심의 회계처리기준 등으로 인해 재무제표 본문의 간략화 및 다양화, 상세내역 및 비재무사항 주석기재 요구량 증대 등 공시 전반에 걸친 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 한편 K-IFRS체제하의 적정공시 방향에 대한 기존의 연구와 검토들은 IFRS 전면도입의 당위론적 배경과 제도변화 초기상황이라는 시기적 요인에 따라 기준제정기구나 감독기관 중심으로 공시요구사항 증대나 정보의 완전성(completeness) 측면에 초점을 두고 전개되어 온 것이 사실이다. 이에, 본 연구는 기존의 접근에 더하여 보고기업 및 정보이용자의 관점에서 보다 균형적인 IFRS 적용에 따른 적정공시 방향성을 도출하고자 하였다. 먼저 주요기업 재무공시 실태 검토 결과, 2010년, 2011년 재무공시에서 다수의 미준수사항 또는 권고할 사항이 지적되었다. 이러한 원인으로는 IFRS 기준의 성격에 따른 문제, 업종별 기업별 특성에 따른 문제, IFRS 도입비용 및 촉박한 공시기한 등 공시기업의 부담 측면이 지적될 수 있으며, 이는 정보이용자 입장에서의 이해가능성 및 활용도, 비교가능성 저하를 일으키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실태의 개선을 위해, 제도의 완화/지원 측면에서 적용대상 기업의 추가 세분화 필요성 검토, 주석공시 내용과 범위 조정, 공시시기 조정 및 다원화, 공시환경 및 인센티브 지원 방안이 제안되었으며, 공시요구 강화 측면에서 기업, 정보이용자 참여비중 확대를 반영한 K-IFRS 제정체계 개선과 표준화된 세부양식 정의 및 적용의무화 필요성이 제시되었다.

Recently, due to the change to SASB(Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) and GRI(Global Reporting Initiative) Standards 2021, the paradigm for non-financial information disclosure is changing significantly, with the number of ESG topics and indicators that must be disclosed by industry from an autonomous material topic selection method. This study revealed that the number of compulsory topics in the oil and gas industry by GRI standards 2021 is up to 2.4 times higher than the average number of material topics disclosed when domestic companies publish sustainability reports using GRI Standards 2020. In the oil and gas industry, I analyzed the similarities and differences between the GRI standards 2021 and the ESG topics covered by SASB by environmental, social, economic, and governance areas. In addition, the materiality test process, which is different in GRI standards 2021, is introduced, and the issues included in the following 10 representative ESG-related initiatives are summarized into 62 and suggested improvement plans for materiality test used in the topic pool.

This study mainly aims to examine the effect of intangible assets on the value relevance of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-listed non-financial firms. This study tested three types of models by using a large sample of non-financial firms listed in GCC countries as emerging markets from 2008 to 2016. The types of models are accounting information (earnings per share and book value of share) without intangible assets model, intangible assets model, and accounting information (earnings per share and book value of share) with intangible assets model. Ordinary least square (OLS) shows mixed results as intangible assets improve the value relevance of accounting information positively in UAE and negatively in Kuwait but not in other countries. The study documents a robust positive relationship between intangible assets and earnings quality in terms of value relevance in KSA and Qatar. The findings provide implications for policymakers, investors, and managers. The results suggest that intangible assets can improve the value relevance in emerging markets, such as GCC, as the need to organize the requirements of information disclosures on intangible assets and provide great transparency and additional disclosure of information about intangible assets and their components.

Purpose - This paper examined the relation between Correction of Annual Reports and Earnings management. The annual reports are used as key reports for critical decision making by providing useful information to various stakeholders across the firm. Design/methodology/approach - The sequence of this study is analysed that each of the following two cases affects the earning management: 1. that corrections have been made; 2. Where financial information have been modified or non-financial information have been modified during the correction of the annual report. We draw an initial sample of firms listed on the Korea Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2017. Among these, we excluded firms that were not able to obtain the variables needed to measure the correction of Annual Reports and the earnings management. Finally, we use the 7,035 firm-year observations. Findings - Our empirical results of this study are as follows; First, it turned out that the earnings management of companies that report business reports on corrections is larger than those that do not. Second, among the types of annual report corrections, the correction of non-financial information is significantly larger on earnings management than the correction of financial information. Research implications or Originality - The correction disclosure of business reports is a very important issue in terms of accounting information accuracy and reliability. The results of this study will provide policy implications for correction disclosures and regulations due to an important issue as accounting information. An entity that initially prepares accounting information should advanced in such a way that it provides high quality accounting information and then complements and accepts it by various stakeholders.

Purpose - This study examines Chinese P2P investment decision processes from a behavioral economics approach. Research design, data, and methodology - We analyze the online P2P investment product purchase decisions of 241 respondents in China, March 2015 to May 2015. T-tests were conducted to determine whether the framing effect influenced investor investment preferences. The Association Rule was used to identify the framing effect of respondent demographic characteristics on joint decisions regarding stable or risky investment products. Results - There are significant differences between the two groups (positive framing and negative framing) and their product-choosing behavior. In the positive framing group, female investors, young investors, investors with non-financial occupations and with limited or no experience, preferred stable P2P investment products. In contrast, in the negative framing group, investors with extensive investment experience preferred risky investment products. Conclusions - The framing effect influences investor choices in online P2P investment products. It is necessary to implement comprehensive supervision and full information disclosure regarding P2P investment products. P2P investment websites can also adopt different marketing strategies according to investor gender and age.

The purpose of this paper is to review the quality of corporate governance from the prior empirical literature. This study finds that most of the researchers developed the self structured corporate governance index and few researchers used the corporate governance index provided by rating agencies. This study also finds that there is no uniform basis to measure the corporate governance quality and observed the variation in terms of overall and individual attributes of corporate governance; sub-indices of corporate governance; scoring system; weighted and un-weighted method; statistical method; time period; financial and non financial companies; code of corporate governance; listing requirement; disclosure practices; legal environment; firms characteristics; and country perspective. This study also observed that overall corporate governance quality is very low in most of the studies and even quality of corporate governance varies in the firms within the same country. This study recommends that the boundary of corporate governance quality should be defined based on the agreed set of rules and regulation, code of governance and practices. This study also suggests that the regulator and policy makers should more emphasize on code of corporate governance and regulatory framework and monitoring to improve the quality of corporate governance.
