Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper attempts to assess and examine the disclosure of the mechanisms of the corporate governance (CG), namely, board matters, nomination matters, audit matters, remuneration matters, communication matters, and risk management matters, of Shari’ah Compliant Companies (ShCCs) for a six-year period from 2008 until 2013. By using the weighted disclosure analyses approach, CG index was developed. The study examines the annual reports of a sample of 1,122 ShCCs which was selected based on the top 500 firms (by market capitalisation) for 2008 until 2013. In this study, SPSS was applied to assess the CG disclosure. Based on the descriptive analysis, the result indicates a remuneration matters (mean: 0.55) score higher than the other mechanisms; this was followed by audit matters (mean: 0.49). The study also found that, the average disclosure level of ShCCs was relatively low. Hence, the result has important implications for the enhancement of the CG disclosure of ShCC for a wider acceptance and reputation enhancement.
