Funded Activity Summary

Improving the Effectiveness of Corporate Disclosure in Australia. This project aims to investigate the issue of voluntary corporate governance disclosure. Voluntary disclosure by way of earnings guidance is critical to protecting investors’ interests and building confidence in the Australian corporate governance regime. This project seeks to provide evidence about the effect of performance review frequency on managers’ disclosure choice, whether investors can effectively use guidance, and the possible negative impact of guidance and the change in auditors’ reports on audit quality and managers' strategic decisions. By addressing these issues, this project aims to inform the development of effective corporate disclosure policies that provide benefits for investors without negatively affecting corporate effectiveness.
