“…The variable of the audit committee size has a significant positive impact on exposure (Li et al 2008, Li et al 2012, Madi et al 2014; does not affect risk disclosure (Elzahar and Hussainey 2012). The frequencies of audit committee meetings (MAC) has positively significantly related to the extent of corporate disclosure (Li et al 2008, Li et al 2012, Taliyang and Jusop 2011, Ettredge et al 2011, Allegrini and Greco 2013, Talpur et al 2018.

This paper investigates the association between the characteristics of business entities, corporate governance, and practices of risk disclosure. Notably, the objective of this paper is to examine the impact of the characteristics of business entities and corporate governance on risk disclosure in non-financial companies. The samples used in this study included 312 non-financial companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The hypothesis testing in this paper using regression analysis. The results of this paper indicate that the size of the audit committee (SAC), the availability of risk monitoring or risk management committees (RMC) and the quality of external auditors (AUD) are significantly associated with corporate risk disclosure practices (CRD). These empirical results show that the presence of risk monitoring committee, the quality of external auditors, and the size of the audit committee are the main factors determining the extent of risk disclosure, especially for non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This paper also shows that the age of business entities has a negative impact on corporate risk disclosure practices.

This 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.
