Abstracts were submitted from all over the world on wide-ranging topics including theory and evidence on trends in reporting, disclosure, accountability, and measurement. The papers that were chosen explore the effects of disclosure on customers, investors, managers, employees, the natural environment, and communities. A selection of the papers presented will be considered for a special issue of the California Management Review.

Attendees will choose which group they would like to attend for each session.
