This journal presents detailed coverage of the complex field of corporate governance, and issues surrounding effective transparency of information for publicly listed companies.

The journal offers global perspective on disclosure and governance matters, presenting articles which describe practices in the U.S., Bangladesh, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, among other countries.
