Abstract

The issue of access to information becomes more critical when it comes to the modern corporate world. The importance of easily accessible information, as and when needed, in corporate governance has been widely recognized in the literature. Transparency in corporate practices can help in attracting capital and maintaining confidence in the capital markets. The demand for transparency and disclosure is driven by investors who continuously demand better reporting and greater access to information because such information is material to their investment decisions. Disclosure facilitates corporate governance by enabling shareholders to monitor the actions of management and hold them accountable. However, the relationship between disclosure and corporate governance practices especially when it comes to risk management is complex. Increase in disclosure without assurances that the information can be effectively used by shareholders may not necessarily result in improved governance practices.
