Abstract
AbstractThis study aims to analyze the current state of research on the determinants of nonfinancial disclosure quality (NFDQ). The systematic literature review analysis applied in the study is based on the systematic literature review principles, and on bibliographic analysis and manual content analysis instruments to highlight the key factors that have been studied for their impact on NFDQ. These factors include firm‐related drivers (i.e., ESG‐related drivers and other firm‐related drivers), the characteristics of nonfinancial reports, (assurance, type of report, and sustainability guidelines) and country level determinants (nonfinancial regulation). In addition to summarizing the current state of knowledge, this study identifies gaps in the existing literature and offers valuable suggestions for future research directions.
