Abstract

Myriad studies have documented that organizations with more nonexecutive directors (NED) disclose higher quality information than others (Yekini et al. 2015, 2017). For example, Yekini et al. (2015) examined the impact of board composition on corporate community involvement disclosure (CCID) for a sample of UK-listed companies and found that having more NEDs on the corporate board enhances corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure quality. This finding provides insights to policymakers who are desirous of achieving optimal board composition. The finding also broadens our perception of the firm’s interaction with its corporate and extended environment through high-quality disclosures.
