Dear Colleagues,

According to Elliot and Elliot (2013, p. 804), a good governance system will ensure that: comprehensive risk management occurs as a normal course of events; and there is transparent disclosure to shareholders and regulators of the nature, extent, and management of these risks. A key issue of corporate governance relates to how a company complies with rules and principles.

The purpose of this special issue is to provide advanced knowledge regarding the role, the impact, challenges and opportunities of corporate governance statements in financial reporting. Thus, sample topics might include, but are not limited to the following:

• Corporate Governance models
• Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility practices
• Social and Environmental Reporting
• Financial distress and corporate recovery
• Corporate governance and risk management
• Corporate governance and financial markets
• Board nomination, composition and firm performance
• Role of board committees and board of directors
• Corporate ownership structures and disclosure
