In today's world, the disclosure of information by a firm affects its position in the financial markets. Enterprises contact investors utilizing reporting about certain events. For this purpose, both official financial reports and less regulated communication channels, such as the company's website on the Internet, personal meetings, or social networks, can be used. The relevance of this research result is primarily due to the increased attention of investors to voluntary disclosures rather than mandatory ones. By studying a sample of companies in the automotive industry from the United States and Europe, we found out that making positive and negative voluntary disclosures on the annual return on shares of these companies. The paper reports that this effect is significant: while it increases the shares' annual yield with positive disclosures and decreases with negative ones.

<p><em>The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of donations, restricted funds, organizational size, and age of the organization age on the voluntary disclosure of the foundation. All foundations in Indonesia are the population in this study. The sample of this research is foundations in Indonesia that submit financial reports via the internet between 2013-2019 and have complete data. Based on these criteria, 114 financial reports were obtained as the research sample. The results of this study prove that restricted funds and organizational size have a significant positive effect on voluntary disclosure, while the donations and age of the organization have no significant positive effect on voluntary disclosure. The implication of this research is that funders must consider the restricted funds and the size of the organization to assess the prospects of the foundation. In addition, the foundation must increase voluntary disclosure to be more transparent in providing information about its foundation. With transparency, the foundation will more easily get the trust to receive funds that are beneficial to the foundation's survival.</em></p>

<p>Recent collapses of high profile business failures like Enron, Worldcom, Parmlat, and Tyco has been a subject of great debate among regulators, investors, government and academics in the recent past.

This paper studies equilibrium voluntary disclosures for a company financed with both debt and equity, where the firm's manager is compensated based on a linear combination of the market prices of the firm's equity and enterprise values (i.e., the sum of the values of its equity and debt). Such compensation policies span "all equity" contracts, "all debt" contracts, and "all enterprise value" contracts. We show: 1. under both "all equity" and "all debt" contracts, increased debt always leads to reduced voluntary disclosure; 2. under "all enterprise value" contracts, increased debt has no effect on voluntary disclosure; 3. for all contracts that place positive weight on both equity and enterprise values, more debt leads to less (resp., more) disclosure if the initial debt level is low (resp., high); 4. increasing the weight on equity prices always induces less disclosure, so: 5. "all equity" contracts minimize, and "all debt" contracts maximize, disclosure.

Accounting ratios are believed to be of fundamental importance in financial analysis, and therefore are useful addition to financial reports. This paper examines the reporting of voluntary accounting ratio by Malaysian companies in corporate annual reports. Drawing on agency and signaling theories, this paper explores whether associations exist between company performance and voluntary disclosure of accounting ratios. In particular, associations are tested between the extent of ratio disclosure and company performance (namely profitability, liquidity, leverage, and company efficiency), size and industry. Six hypotheses are tested using data collected from 2003 annual reports of 100 Malaysian listed companies. This paper provides evidence that the extent of voluntary ratio disclosure is low; and size, industry as well as liquidity significantly influence the reporting of ratios in corporate annual reports. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The aim of general purpose financial reporting is to provide information that is useful to investors, lenders, and other creditors. With this goal, regulators have tended to mandate increased disclosure. We show that increased mandatory disclosure can weaken a firm’s incentive to acquire and voluntarily disclose private information that is not amenable to inclusion in mandated reports. Specifically, we provide conditions under which a regulator, seeking to maximize the total amount of information provided to investors via both mandatory and voluntary disclosures, would mandate less informative and more conservative financial reports even in the absence of any direct costs of increasing informativeness. This result is robust to allowing the firm to make reports more informative and to imposing a nondisclosure cost or penalty on the firm. The results and comparative statics analysis contribute to our understanding of interactions between mandatory reporting and voluntary disclosure and demonstrate a novel benefit to setting accounting standards that mandate imperfectly informative reports. This paper was accepted by Suraj Srinivasan, accounting.
