The findings show that the disclosure level has improved, but the overall level is still low and unable to satisfy information users; there is positive correlation between corporate size, industry type, accounting firm's type and corporate environmental dis-closure index. The companies of large scale and heavy pollu-tion and those audited by international "Big 4" and domestic "Big 10" accounting firms have a high level of environmental disclosure, while the profitability and financial leverage has no impact on the disclosure level. Finally some suggestions are put forward to establish environmental information disclosure sys-tem in China.展开更多

However, using a large sample of Chinese firms for the period of 2001-2012, we fmd a nonlinear U-shape link between information disclosure quality and crash risk. Using synchronicity risk indicator R2 as the proxy of information transparency, we find that opaque In'ms, as well as excessive transparent firms, are both more prone to stock price crashes. We identify one possible mechanism through which excessive transparency increases crash risk: excessive volatility augments volatility feedback effect and overreaction effect and then increases crash risk.展开更多

Enhancing the effectiveness of information disclosure can make the information exchange between different market participants freely and effectively, so as to optimize the distribution of market resources, and promote the health of the entire capital market to develop rapidly and sustainably. As an important part of a country's financial, bank has a special corporate form and link with many different broad stakeholders, whether the information disclosure effective or not, the bank exert more influence to the capital market and society compared with ordinary businesses, what's more, the negative effect by the asymmetric information or disclosure failure is also far more big than ordinary enterprises. William Mcdonough, former chairman of the Basel committee on banking supervision, once said: "the greatest enemy of financial stability is a loss of confidence, but the greatest damage to the confidence is the lack of reliable information." Therefore, ensuring the quality of information disclosure and enhancing the effectiveness of listed bank information disclosure have a very important practical significance on safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of investors and stakeholders and stable financial order.展开更多

Social responsibility report audit can supervise and constrain the disclosure of corporate social responsibility information, risk assessment and consulting planning, and improve the quality of information disclosure. Taking 2010-2013 listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen as samples for empirical test, we found that social responsibility report audit significantly improved the quality of corporate social responsibility information disclosure. Further study found that the greater the intensity of corporate shareholder oversight, social responsibility report audit on the quality of social responsibility to promote the quality of information disclosure more obvious. In addition, compared with the state-owned enterprises, the supervision of the major shareholders in the private enterprises to a greater extent enhanced the quality of social responsibility information disclosure.展开更多

The Environmental Information Disclosure Decree was the first to operationalize these general regulations into a sectorai information disclosure system on environment. This study assessed the implementation of the environmental information disclosure system about six months after the Decree took effect on May 1, 2008. Through reviewing the websites of all 31 provincial Environmental Protection Bureaus and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, conducting an experiment with actual information disclosure request, and through interviews with all provincial Environmental Protection Bureaus, this article concluded that the implementation of the environmental information disclosure system still fails short. Future improvements should focus on further publicity of the regulations and decree to enhance public participation, the establishment of an independent evaluation and supervision system for information disclosure, the exchange of experiences and best practices among provincial Environmental Protection Bureaus, and on strengthening the legal status of environmental information disclosure.展开更多
