Sustainability and transparency issues are becoming trending in the nature of corporate reporting. Stakeholders are accused to bring together all financial and nonfinancial metrics into one integrated report. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of integrated reporting toward corporate performance. Integrated reporting measurement uses the construct adopted from IIRC. The research sample in this study is basic and chemical industry sector that listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017. The reason in choosing those industries as a research subject is because the basic and chemical industry sector is recorded as a high growth industry sector in 2017. This study uses a linear regression as an analysis tool. This study concluded that integrated reporting has significant effect toward corporate performance.

This study empirically investigates the effect of disclosure elements of integrated reporting on firm value. Business complexity is used as a moderating variable in the effect of integrated reporting on firm value. A total of 189 samples of manufacturing companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2017 met the criteria using the purposive sampling method. A multiple linear regression analysis using SEM-PLS program is employed as a data analysis tool. The results showed that integrated reporting has significant effect on firm value. Business complexity moderates the relationship of disclosure integrated reporting to firm value. The better quality of information disclosure from element of integrated reporting increases investor confidence thereby increasing firm value.

Integrated corporate reporting (ICR), which entails the process of compiling, documenting and reporting on company’s resources, its ongoing relationships with key stakeholders; business models; products (services); and the impact of such products (or services) on stakeholders, society, as well as the environment to optimize company value, has generated considerable interest among top 100 Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed companies in South Africa over the last decade. Despite the surging interest in ICR to leverage the social responsibility, transparency and public accountability of companies in the developing African countries, little is known about the combined influence of ICR and internal company resources and/ capabilities (e.g., age and experience of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)) on the performance of South African listed companies. The main objective of this study, therefore, is to examine the impact of Integrated Reporting Ratings (IRR); the company CEO’s age; and his/her years as a CEO on the share price of the company within the South African context. The top-106 JSE listed companies for the period Year-end 2014 constitute the sample for this study. Multivariate non-parametric regression is used to model the relationship between the predictor (i.e., independent) variables and the response (i.e., dependent) variable using MATLAB. The model developed in this study is, then, used to evaluate the impact of IRR; the CEO’s age and years of experience as CEO on the share price of individual companies. The proposed methodology is illustrated step-by-step. The finding of the study reveal that the share price of a company tended to increase with an increase in IRR, age and years of experience of the CEO, demonstrating that a company’s established history in integrated reporting and corporate experience positively impact its performance (i.e., the share price). Keywords: integrated corporate reporting, corporate responsibility, JSE listed companies, MATLAB. JEL Classification: G17

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine and explain the complex interrelationships which influence the ability of firms to create value for their providers of finance and other stakeholders (loosely referred to in practice as “integrated thinking”). In doing so it examines the interrelationships between: environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk; delivering on corporate strategy; non-financial corporate reporting; and, board oversight. Design/methodology/approach Interviews were conducted with board chairs and non-executive directors of large listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (where Boards are required to have a social and ethics sub-committee and approve integrated reports which have been mandatory since 2010) and the Australian Stock Exchange (where Board directors’ liability legislation results in Boards being reluctant to adopt integrated reporting which is voluntary). Findings The research finds that contemporary reporting processes, and in particular those set out in the King III Code and the International Integrated Reporting Framework, influence cognitive frames enhancing board oversight and assisting organisations in managing complexity. This results in increased awareness of the impact of ESG issues together with a broader view of value creation despite investor disinterest. Research limitations/implications A number of avenues of research are suggested to further examine the interrelationships identified. Practical implications The research assists the development of practice and policy by articulating and enhancing the understanding of linkages, which loosely fall under the vague practitioner term “integrated thinking”. Social implications The conceptualisation can inform national and global discussions on the appropriateness of corporate reporting and governance models to achieve sustainable development and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. Originality/value The paper conceptualises emerging and complex interrelationships. The cross-country comparison allows an assessment of the extent to which different national social contexts with differing governance and reporting frameworks lead to different perspectives on, and approaches to, value creation.

Integrated reporting is a developing reporting aspect in order to assess problems relating to corporate reporting. It provides a comprehensive account of organizational worth. This paper aims to assess whether integrated reporting and organizational capital increase the value relevance of firms. A checklist containing 100 integrated reports of banks which are listed in Colombo stock exchange were used for the analysis. Data were collected over the period from 2010 to 2019. Statistical analysis was done using the EWIS. Finding reveals that the book value of equity, earnings before interest and taxation of the equity of the bank, leverage of the bank and Organizational capital have a direct effect on the market value of equity of the bank while return on equity and size does not have a positive impact on the market value of equity of the bank. And to the best of our knowledge, it reveals that there is a significant effect of integrated reporting on the value relevance of organizations. Future research avenues were identified and the suggestions for future research on integrated reporting were provided. The findings bring out different implications for managers, decision-makers and the research community as well. This study further expands the existing knowledge on integrated reporting and sets the foundation for future researchers.

AbstractLarge corporates have come under increasing pressure to conduct their business in a more transparent and responsible manner. In order for business to fulfil its obligations under the ethic of accountability stakeholders must be given relevant, timely, and understandable information about their activities through corporate reports. The conventional company reports on annual financial performance, sustainability and governance disclosures often fail to make the connection between the organisation’s strategy, its financial results and performance on environmental, social and governance issues. Recognising the inherent shortcomings of existing reporting models, there is a growing trend to move towards integrated reporting. South Africa has been one of the most innovative countries in terms of integrated corporate reporting. Since 2010 companies primarily listed on the country’s major stock exchange have been required to produce an integrated report as opposed to the former sustainability report. The aim in this study is to review the development of integrated reporting by large corporates in South Africa and assess the impact of the required transition from sustainability reporting to integrated reporting on non-financial disclosure of eight South African corporates using content analysis of annual reports.

Integrated reporting (IR) is an emerging field of corporate reporting devised for corporate entities to ensure sustainable value creation in the short, medium and long term. The major thrust of this paper therefore was to determine the extent of the adoption of integrated reporting principles and practices as contained in the framework by quoted firms in Nigeria. Due to paucity of data from reporting entities on the implementation of integrated reporting, a documentary combined with descriptive research approach was adopted. Sample size was determined using the purposive random sampling method, which led to the selection of one (1) critical company from each sector making a total of twelve (12) companies quoted in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. This study will provide a new and deep introspection for companies   intending preparing and presenting integrated reports and those already doing so. The result of the tested hypothesis shows a significant f-value of .65 (P-value = .089 > .05); thus leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. This indicates that there is no significant evidence of integrating reporting adoption and practice by quoted companies in Nigeria. This result is due possibly to the recency of integrated reporting disclosures and the lack of legislative framework to support it in Nigeria. Predicated on the result, it was recommended that companies quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange should be enlightened and motivated to adopt the integrated reporting principles and practices as this will promote the accountability and transparency framework of the firms. In addition, the full adoption of integrated reporting frameworks should be made one of the key requirements for companies to be listed on the Stock Exchange.

Abstract Integrated Reporting (IR), the latest approach in corporate reporting, is one of the most discussed topics of the past several years. Recently, companies and companies have realized that the former business model, which was based only on profit-taking without regard to employees, the environment and society, needs to be revised and should take into account wider objectives than financial ones. Therefore, current societies adopt a pluralistic approach and aim to include in their concerns stakeholders’ needs, sustainability, business ethics and transparency. From the aforementioned aspects derives the research question of the present study, aiming in this way to determine the degree of adoption of the integrated reporting of the Romanian companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, as well as the analysis of the corporate governance reporting degree of the companies included in the study. The results show us the current state of the art for this issue.

<p>This study aims to determine how much disclosures can be found on the IR issued by companies in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore that implement International &lt;IR&gt; Framework as a guide. This study uses a total observation of 21 (twenty one) Integrated Reports, consisting of 12 (twelve) IR from Indonesia, 5 (five) IR from Malaysia, and 4 (four) IR from Singapore, where the entire population is used as the research object.</p><p>Content analysis and descriptive qualitative are used as the chosen methods to explore many information disclosures. The result of this study shows that IR  in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore falls in the high category. This achievement was obtained because the companies that are used as the object of the research (the companies that publish IR) might be are top companies (total assets, capital, business lines, and employees) and have a good reputation. In addition, the companies that are used as a sample of this research have reported a sustainability report in the previous period which has an indicator similar to IR.</p><p>Additionally, this study shows that IR in Indonesia is leading in reporting risks and opportunities because regulators require public companies have a risk management committee (Regulation of Bapepam and LK X.K.6). Whereas, IR in Malaysia and Singapore are leading in basic preparation and presentation of IR in behalf of the guidance of the current corporate reporting (Sustainability Reporting Guide - Malaysia and Singapore Stock Exchange) that has similar indicators to the International &lt;IR&gt; Framework. However, the third IR lacks the ability to disclose the strategy and allocation of resources are caused by  uncertainty. The trend for subsequent reporting will be done through IR, IR is considered capable of creating organization’s value in the short, medium, and long term to meet the needs of stakeholders.</p><p> </p>

This study examined the effect of current ratio and debt to asset ratio on net profit margin and stock prices of the sector basic industry and chemicals companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2015-2019. The object of research was the stock prices of companies in the Basic Industry and Chemicals sector, which have been published through the official website of the Indonesian capital market. It was used secondary data derived from the monthly statistics, including Current Ratio data, Net Profit Margin, Debt to Asset Ratio, and data on closing prices for the period 2015-2019. In analyzing data, it was used path analysis of secondary data obtained from the basic industry sector financial statements of 60 companies. The company's performance in this sector is considered quite good when seen from the movement of the index value in the last five years. The results show that direct current ratio had a positive and significant effect on the net profit margin, and the debt to equity ratio did not significantly influence the net profit margin. The current ratio has a positive and significant effect on stock prices, and the debt to equity ratio has a negative and not significant effect on stock prices. In contrast, the net profit margin has a significant effect on stock prices in the basic industry sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Indirectly the current ratio has a positive and significant effect on stock prices. In contrast, the debt to asset ratio has a negative and not significant effect on the company's stock prices in the basic industry sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

AbstractCalls are repeatedly made on corporations to respond to the challenges facing the planet from a sustainable development perspective and governments take solace in the idea that corporations' transparency on their corporate activity in relation to sustainability through voluntary reporting is adequately addressing the problem. In practice, however, reporting is failing to deliver truly sustainable results. The article considers the following questions: how does the varied reporting landscape in the field of non-financial reporting impede the objectives of fostering corporations' sustainable practices and which initiative, among the options available, may best meet the sustainability objectives after a decluttering of the landscape takes place?The article argues that the varied corporate reporting landscape constitutes a key obstacle to fostering sustainable corporate behaviour, insofar as the flexible and please all approach followed in the context of corporate sustainability reporting offers little to no real incentive to companies to behave more sustainably and ultimately pleases none in the long run. The case made is that “less is more” in non-financial reporting initiatives and hence the article calls for a revision of key aspects of the European Non-Financial Reporting Directive, which, as is argued, is more likely to achieve the furtherance of sustainable corporate behaviour. Although the different reporting requirements offer the benefits of focussing on different corporate goals and activities, targeting different audiences and allowing for a level of flexibility that respects the individual risks to sustainability associated with each industry, the end result is a landscape that lacks overall consistency and comparability of measurements and accountabilities, making accountability more, rather than less, difficult to achieve.The article acknowledges the existence of several variances relating to the notion of sustainability per se, which continues to remain a contested concept and variances between companies and industries in relation to how each is operating sustainably or unsustainably respectively. Such variances have so far inhibited the legislator from easily outlining through tailored legislation the individual risks to global sustainability in an all-encompassing manner. The end product is a chaotic system of financial reporting, CSR reporting, non-financial reporting and integrated reporting and little progress to increase comparability and credibility in order for companies to be held accountable and to behave in ways that do not harm the planet. A “clean up” of the varied initiatives in the terrain of non-financial reporting is recommended.
