Financial Disclosure and Communication

Shih-Lun Alex Wang

Chapter Chapter 8 in Financial Communications, 2013, pp 139-162 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Adams, Hill, and Roberts (1998, p. 4) defined ethical reporting as “any information, except employee or environmental, that was concerned directly or indirectly with giving an impression of corporate ethical values.” Ethical reporting includes two types of information relevant to financial disclosures: investment policies and product safety. There has been concern that corporations in various industries need to disclose important information to protect vulnerable populations such as college students and investors because of inherently one-sided product promotion messages (Wang 2009c, 2009d, 2010a, 2010c, 2011a, 2011b, 2011g, 2011h, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2012e; Wang and Dowding 2010). Given the importance of transparency in the financial market, the main value of disclosure is that it usually includes crucial information that helps consumers understand communications related to products and services (Wang 2009c, 2010a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c; Wang and Dowding 2010).
