The study aims to provide some plausible explanation for why Vietnamese listed companies only stop at the level of truthful presentation of information related to accounting data through the opinion of independent auditors. The information is only at the level of compliance with the requirements of Circular 155/2015/TT-BTC in form, but in essence is sketchy. What factors affect the level of voluntary disclosure of listed companies in Vietnam? In order to identify the factors affecting voluntary information disclosure on annual reports of listed companies, the study collected data on annual reports of 122 companies listed on the stock market in Ho Chi Minh City in the period 2015-2018 and uses regression analysis methods. The research presents 8 factors affecting the level of voluntary information disclosure including: Firm size, Listed time, Profitability, Solvency, Separation of board of directors and executive director, Board size, Organizational ownership and Foreign ownership. Next, the study conducted descriptive statistical analysis correlation coefficient analysis to examine the correlation and relevance of independent variables measured by the scale ratio, testing multiple linear regression model. The results of the study show that factors listed time, profitability and organizational ownership affecting voluntary information disclosure on annual reports of listed companies in Vietnam.

This study aims to test Voluntary Disclosure, Quality of Financial Reporting and Information Asymmetry as Moderation Variables. The Voluntary Disclosure variable is calculated using the Index Disclosure. This research uses quantitative methods and uses partial least square with EViews data analysis. The research sample consisted of 225 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange for the period 2016-2018. The results of the study state that voluntary disclosure has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial reporting through asymmetric information. The relationship between voluntary disclosure and asymmetric information has a negative effect on the quality of financial reporting, states that the disclosure of voluntary reports to companies can prevent information asymmetry, as well as the relationship of voluntary disclosure to information asymmetry states that companies that make voluntary disclosure will increase the interest of investors and other stakeholders. The quality of financial reporting states that if there is information asymmetry, the quality of financial reporting will also decline. The low value of relevance will affect the level of large or small information gaps between management and investors. The quality of financial reporting with increased relevance means that asymmetric information will have a negative impact on financial reporting.

Considering the role of a financial analyst that directly affects investors as an information mediator, management's decision to disclose to maximize corporate value will have an important impact on investors as well. On the other hand, whether or not managers vary the level of disclosure depending on the corporate form will have great implications for policy authorities. However, there is no domestic research on the relationship between the corporate form and the quality of voluntary disclosure. Our study shows that the corporate form tends to deepen the negative relationship between the proprietary information cost and the quality of disclosure. Examining whether the relationship between proprietary information cost and management disclosure decision making is valid for domestic companies is expected to provide meaningful implications for investors and regulators. Depending on the corporate form, if an entity makes a discriminatory disclosure, the cost of capital will be affected. A more in-depth follow-up study on this should be done.

Accounting information disclosure by enterprises is important for third-party entities (suppliers, creditors, banks, regulators, etc.). Voluntary accounting information disclosure (VAID) refers to additional information related to business activities shown on the annual report above and beyond the required information about business results and financial position as well as cash flow. This supports the stakeholders gaining useful information to make proper business decisions. The article examines the influence of ownership structure on the voluntary accounting information disclosure of the top 100 Vietnamese listed companies (VN100). Data collected by authors on regular annual reports totaled 425 observations from 2015 to 2019. The article uses OLS to test multivariate regression models with time-series data. The research results show that there are three variables affecting voluntary accounting information disclosure, of which foreign ownership and institution ownership have a positive impact, while concentration ownership has an opposite impact. Accordingly, the managers of VN100 should raise awareness in order to demonstrate the obligation of information providers to users to ensure clarity and completeness. The state agencies should encourage VN100 to enhance voluntary accounting information disclosure. This contributes to improve the information level of Vietnamese listed companies to embrace the trend of international economic integration.

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.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of corporate anti-corruption practice disclosure (ACPD) from the perspective of rent-seeking theory. Research design, data, and methodology - Data are hand-collected from corporate social responsibility reports (CSRR) issued by 724 A-share listed firms in China. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the relationship between ownership structure and corporate ACPD as well as its moderating role in the institutional environment. Results - Our findings indicate that rent-seeking is a key factor in influencing corporate ACPD. State-owned enterprises disclose significantly more anti-corruption information than private ones in order to achieve personal promotion of top executives. Monopoly enterprises reported significantly less anti-corruption information than enterprises in competitive industries due to their rent-seeking behavior. The reduction of government intervention and improvement of legal environment are helpful to curb corporate rent-seeking activities and enhance the level of corporate ACPD. Conclusions - Rent-seeking is an important factor in explaining corporate voluntary disclosure in emerging countries. Institutional environment also plays a moderating role in the relationship between ownership structure and corporate voluntary disclosure. Our results are of interest to policy makers, regulators and market participants that are interested in corporate voluntary disclosure and corruption prevention.

2000년대 중반 이후 우리나라에서도 기업의 자발적 공시활동의 중요성이 증대되면서 이와 관련한 기업의 활동이 활발해지고 있으며 관련 연구도 지속적으로 이뤄지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 추세를 반영하여 자발적 정보공시와 유효법인세율 간의 관련성을 조세회피 측면에서 실증적으로 검증하였다. 이를 위해 자발적 정보공시의 대리변수(proxy)는 기업설명회(IR, Investor Relation)를 활용하였으며, 유효법인세율(Effective Corporate Tax Rate)을 조세회피의 대리변수로 활용하였다. 연구표본은 한국채택국제회계기준(K-IFRS)가 의무적으로 도입된 2011년부터 2014년까지의 12월 결산 유가증권 상장기업 1,396개 기업연도이다. 실증분석 결과, 자발적 정보공시와 유효법인세율은 양(+)의 관련성을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 추가적인 유효법인세율 측정치를 활용한 분석에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 이는 외부에 자발적으로 정보를 공시하는 기업일수록 시장의 반응을 중시하여 상대적으로 우수한 회계정보를 산출함으로써 상대적으로 조세회피 수준이 낮은 (유효법인세율이 높은) 건전한 경영성과를 보고하는 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 자발적 정보공시활동(IR)이 기업의 조세회피 수준에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 대표적인 조세회피 대리변수인 유효법인세율을 통해 검증함으로써, 좀 더 높은 공시수준을 가진 기업들에 대한 좋은 신호(good signal)를 투자자들에게 제공할 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 이를 통해 본 연구가 건전한 자본시장의 발전에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 상장기업의 환경보고서 혹은 웹사이트를 통한 환경정보의 자발적 공시실태를 조사하였다. GRI 보고기준을 기반으로 한 공시수준 평가기준을 이용하여 내용분석을 실시한 결과 표본기업의 공시의 질은 높지 않은 것으로 판명되었다. 공시항목의 범주를 객관적 공시와 주관적 공시로 구분할 때 특히 객관적 공시의 질이 열악한 것으로 평가되었다. 이와 함께 본 논문에서는 TRI 자료를 이용하여 환경성과를 측정하고 주식시장의 산업조정수익률로 경제성과를 정의하여 환경공시수준, 환경성과 및 경제성과 사이의 동시적 상관관계를 분석하였다. OLS 방법에의하여 개별회귀식을 추정할 경우 공시수준과 환경성과 사이에는 유의한 양의 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났으나 환경성과와 경제성과 사이에는 유의한 관련성을 발견할 수 없었다. 나아가 2SLS 접근법에 의하여 연립방정식을 추정할 경우 세 변수 사이에 내생성을 발견할 수 없었으며 이들 세 변수 중의 어떠한 두 변수 사이에서도 상관관계가 관찰되지 않았다. 추가분석에서 감사보고서 각주공시의 수준을 GRI 기준에 입각하여 평가한 결과 공시의 질은 현저하게 낮은 것으로 파악되었으며 각주공시의 선택 여부가 환경보고서 공시의 질에 아무런 영향도 끼치지 못하는 것으로 확인 되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 자율공시수준이 감사인의 감사보수 및 감사시간에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 분석하고, 추가적으로 둘 간의 관계가 회계이익의 질에 따라 달라지는지 확인하고자 한다. 분석을 위한 최종표본은 2007년부터 2013년까지의 유가증권상장기업을 대상으로 감사보수(감사시간)는 4,572개(4,460개)의 기업/년 자료가 활용되었다. 본 연구의 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자율공시기업은 자율공시를 수행하지 않은 기업에 비해 감사인의 감사보수가 높은 것으로 나타났고, 자율공시기업만을 대상으로 한 경우에도 같은 결과가 나타났다. 둘째, 자율공시기업은 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 감사인의 감사시간이 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 이러한 결과는 자율공시기업만을 대상으로 분석한 경우에도 일치된 결과가 나타났다. 셋째, 자율공시기업의 회계이익의 질이 좋지 못한 경우 감사인의 감사보수는 유의하게 낮아진 반면, 자율공시기업을 대상으로 한 경우에는 관련성이 확인되지 않았다. 넷째, 자율공시기업의 회계이익의 질이 나쁜 경우에는 감사인이 감사시간을 덜 투입하는 것으로 확인되었지만, 자율공시기업만을 대상으로 분석한 경우에는 이와 같은 사실이 확인되지 않았다. 본 연구는 자율공시수준에 따라 감사인의 감사위험이 달라진다는 사실을 감사보수 및 감사시간 측면에서 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) in commercial banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This paper also observed the effects of ICD and corporate governance mechanism on market value. This study uses content analysis techniques to measure ICD. The paper provides a novel approach to measure the ICD quality in developing countries using a four-numerical coding system. Secondary data were obtained from the financial statements and annual reports of the banks for the period 2011-2014. The data from 31 banks were analyzed using ordinary least square regression. The study reports that the quality of intellectual capital disclosure in Indonesian commercial banks increase steadily. Narrative disclosure dominates the report of intellectual capital in Indonesian banks. The results indicate that the size of audit committee, frequency of audit committee meeting, and intellectual capital disclosure affect positively the market value. Overall, the results indicate intellectual capital disclosure is associated with the market capitalization; these findings indicate that the ICD is a consideration in a stock investment decision. While regulations in Indonesia regarding intellectual capital reporting are not conclusive yet, the information needs of stakeholders have encouraged companies to expand voluntary disclosure.
