Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corporate governance and financial reporting are critical components of modern business operations. Effective governance structures and transparent financial reporting are essential for maintaining investor confidence and ensuring regulatory compliance. Any violations or issues arising from poor governance or inaccurate financial reporting can create severe consequences for firms, including direct costs (e.g., fines) and indirect costs (e.g., loss of reputation). This Special Issue will address the importance of corporate governance and financial reporting in the context of social responsibility. We aim to publish novel research on various aspects of governance structures, financial transparency, regulatory challenges, and best practices in financial reporting. Theoretical and empirical research papers focusing on the above-listed issues are welcome, whether from an economics, finance, management, or policymaking perspective.

Dr. Omer Unsal
Guest Editor
