Integrating reporting strives to address issues with corporate reporting procedures and hold businesses responsible for their local surroundings, as well as additional stakeholders impacted by their operations in producing returns for investors. This study employed Nigerian deposit money banks to examine whether investor returns with profit after tax and integrated reporting are statistically and significantly related. Ex post facto research methodology was applied. Purposive sampling was used to sample ten Nigerian deposit money banks. Data were taken from the annual reports of the chosen banks. The international integrated reporting framework of 2021 checklist was utilized to extract integrated reporting data using the unweighted content analysis method. The integrated reporting disclosure index was used as a proxy for integrated reporting. Market price per share, dividend per share, and price-earnings ratio were used as proxies for investor returns. Profit after tax was used as a moderating variable. The results indicate that with the moderating variable, which is Profit after tax, integrated reporting and price-earnings ratio are related to coefficients of 9.9585. Integrated reporting and dividend per share are related to coefficients of 3.151612. Integrated reporting and market price per share are related to coefficients of 36.7535. Dividend per share and integrated reporting disclosure are significantly related to p-values of 0.001. Market price per share and integrated reporting disclosure are significantly related to p-values of 0.002. This study concluded that integrated reporting and investor returns are statistically and significantly related to the moderating role of Profit after tax of Nigerian deposit money banks.

Banks and Bank Systems Volume 14, 2019 Issue #2 pp. 128-139 Views: 2770 Downloads: 540 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe recent development of integrated reporting intends to address the limitations associated with corporate reporting practices. This paper aims to examine whether a statistically significant relationship exists between integrated reporting quality and financial performance. Secondary data was used, namely the integrated reports and annual financial statements of South African banks listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) for 2010–2014. For the period 2005–2009, only the financial statements were used, since integrated reporting was not yet mandatory. The research design was longitudinal and it combined qualitative and quantitative methods. Descriptive statistics and Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) were used to explore the relationships between financial performance and integrated reporting quality. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between integrated reporting quality (IRQ) and earnings per share (EPS). However, there is no significant relationship between IRQ and Tobin’s q (Q-Ratio), IRQ and return on equity (ROE), IRQ and return on assets (ROA) as well as IRQ and economic value added (EVA). Moreover, there are no significant differences on the financial performance of the listed banks before and after the introduction of integrated reporting.

From the corporate social responsibility reporting to the integrated reporting: the case of Sabaf S.p.a
Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 15, 2017 Issue #1 (cont.) pp. 150-157 Views: 2533 Downloads: 1044 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯIn December 2013, the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) published the International Integrated Reporting Framework.
The aim of the Framework is to provide the guiding principles and the content elements of an integrated report. The integrated report constitutes an evolutionary step in the corporate’s financial and non-financial communication, moving from the social responsibility reporting to the integrated reporting.
This practice is at the beginning in Europe and especially in Italy, where only a few listed companies have decided to face the multitude of challenges the integrated report implies.
Considering the relevance of such a new form of communication, the paper examines the main steps carried out by an Italian listed company moving towards the integrated report. The research has been conducted by adopting a qualitative case study approach, by focusing on Sabaf S.p.a, an Italian listed medium sized company belonging to the Star Segment. This company has been selected, because it was one of the first adopters of the integrated report among the Italian listed companies.
The study is built on data gathered through sites visits, structured interviews and company materials.
The paper examines Sabaf’s transition from the corporate social responsibility report to the integrated report, aiming at answering the following research question:
Why has Sabaf moved to integrated reporting? Which are Sabaf’s main steps towars the integrated report? How is the Sabaf’s integrated reporting process going?
The findings should be of interest to a number of parties including standard setters, firms, financial advisors, auditors and users of non-financial statements. -

Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 16, 2019 Issue #2 pp. 159-170 Views: 2343 Downloads: 327 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis study aims to contribute to the emergence of the literature focusing on exploring the factors influencing the financing decision, as well as examining the relationship between the firm size, profitability and firm growth towards the corporate debt. Questions such as how relevant firm size, profitability and firm growth to debt are, quantitatively, had not been fully answered in the business literature. The purpose of this study is to fill this large gap by examining the role of the firm size, profitability, investment and firm growth for the corporate debt. This study tries to examine the determinants of debt in the financial literature which include size, growth, business risk, and profitability in accordance with the capital structure theory, in manufacturing firms in Indonesia. The sample contained financial data from 150 firms for the period 2012–2017. The results showed that the manufacturing firms in Indonesia had high debt levels, especially the size, profitability, firm growth and profitability had proven to be the debt determinants, which also confirmed the Pecking Order Theory. This study also found that the management preference of manufacturing firms in Indonesia for risk was the risk-seeker or risk-neutral ones. This finding implies that the choice of funding sources originating from debt still provided greater returns compared to the capital cost needed due to business uncertainties.
