Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to provide a normative framework to measure the quality of risk disclosuresRisk disclosures in annual reportsAnnual reports . The index uses textual analysisTextual analysis to capture not only the quantity but also the quality of disclosures, based on three semantic attributes, namely, nature (qualitative/quantitative), tense (past/future/both) and tone of the disclosures. The index is based on 69 risk and risk-related items. The index has been empirically computed for the sample 429 non-financial companies for each of the 10 years from 2005 to 2015. In addition, an aggregative analysis, focussing on phase-wise, age-wise and industry-wise analysisIndustry-wise analysis has been carried out. Further, a dis-aggregative (variable-wise) detailed analysis has been carried out to gain deeper insights into ‘most/least’ frequently and ‘most/least’ comprehensively disclosed risk items.
