Non-financial Disclosure and Reporting

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Journal of Risk and Financial Management focuses on non-financial reporting and disclosure, and, specifically, the role of accounting in measuring and reporting firms’ activities in environmental, social, and governance or sustainability. We invite the submission of insightful and relevant research on topics such as the real effects of non-financial disclosures and sustainability reporting, the role of ESG disclosures in stakeholder decision making, the use of sustainability or CSR reports for performance evaluation and compensation, the role of auditors, institutional investors, and financial analysts and other market participants, and issues in the implementation and design of effective sustainability reporting standards. While we welcome submissions of theoretical, empirical, and experimental studies, we particularly encourage studies that employ empirical methodologies.
