Dutch Companies' Poor Disclosure Compliance Sparks Call for Filing Changes.
Dutch companies have the option to not file their management reports publicly, but many do not make them easily available upon request. Companies that do file their reports show better compliance with disclosure requirements compared to those that do not. Longer management reports also tend to have higher compliance levels. The timing of publication, company size, and auditor firm size do not significantly impact compliance levels. The study suggests removing the option to exempt companies from filing their management reports.
