| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we analyzed the determinants of adoption of integrated reporting in Japanese and the UK companies from the perspectives of the voluntary disclosure theory focusing on financial accountability to shareholders and investors, and the legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory focusing on social contracts with multi-stakeholders. As a result, we found that although the results vary between countries and industries, Japanese and UK companies have been shifting towards behavior consistent with the voluntary disclosure theory with time. Besides, shareholders and investors among various stakeholders influence on the adoption of integrated reporting in Japanese companies.
