While evidence on the adverse investment effects of financial restatements is established in the literature, there is little evidence on whether and how CSR restatements influence investors\u2019 judgements.\u00a0 In this study, we draw upon contagion theory to examine investors\u2019 reactions to CSR restatements. We predict and find that CSR restatements made in firms adopting integrated (separate) reporting affect (unaffect) investors\u2019 reliability perceptions of financial information, and consequently their investment judgements. Further, consistent with the theory, we also find that reasonable CSR assurance helps alleviate the adverse impact in the integrated reporting context. Our study is informative to global regulators and standard-setting bodies, given their ongoing considerations of CSR reporting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keywords<\/strong>: CSR Restatements; Integrated Reporting; Contagion Theory; CSR Assurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IIM K hosted its Seventh research seminar on January 09, 2025, for the year 2024-25.
