Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this project is to propose a new corporate disclosure system which integrates financial and non-financial information to improve the sustainable development of companies. This project consists of three researches: (1) the theoretical research on integrated reporting; (2) the investigation of regulations and the current state of integrated reporting; (3) the institutional research on assurance of non-financial information.
Research (1) provides the theoretical foundation for the integrated reporting framework based on the four information disclosure theories as well as by adopting psychological analysis approaches. Research (2) analyzes the disclosure system of non-financial information and reveals the integrated reporting practices in various countries. Research (3) suggests that it is essential to adopt a holistic approach to build the conceptual framework for the assurance of non-financial information.
