Abstract: High quality annual reports can contribute significantly to a company’s success. The main aim of this article is to analyse and compare the level of annual report disclosure quality for listed companies in selected European transition countries (Croatia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia) using a constructed disclosure quality index (DQI). Obtained results suggest that Slovenian companies have the greatest level of disclosure quality and that there are significant differences in disclosure quality of annual reports between the observed countries. These findings could be of interest to potential investors, management and other users of corporate disclosure, namely regulators in the process of financial reporting quality improvement.
