This post is part of a series introducing journals published by SSRN’s new Corporate Governance Network (CGN). CGN publishes and distributes electronic journals covering the full range of areas in corporate governance. It seeks to provide its readers with full exposure to new corporate governance research placed on SSRN irrespective of the author’s discipline. CGN’s director is Lucian Bebchuk, Director of the Program on Corporate Governance at Harvard Law School.
The Corporate Governance Network (CGN) of SSRN recently launched a new e-journal on Disclosure, Internal Control & Risk-Management. This journal distributes abstracts of, and links to, selected recent working papers that deal with disclosure and accounting decisions, internal control systems, risk management including hedging and derivatives, and similar topics.
The journal collects abstracts on these topics from all new submissions to the entire SSRN database irrespective of discipline. It brings together contributions from accounting, economics, finance, law, management, sociology and psychology. Thus, this e-journal attempts to provide its readers with full exposure to all new papers related to its subject matter placed on SSRN.
Since its inception, the journal has distributed twenty-five issues of five to six papers each. Papers distributed in the last several weeks include:
- Chris Armstrong, Karthik Balakrishnan & Daniel Cohen, “Corporate Governance and the Information Environment: Evidence from State Antitakeover Laws”;
- T.J. Atwood, Michael Drake, James Myers & Linda Myers, “Do Earnings Reported Under IFRS Tell Us More About Future Earnings and Cash Flows?”
- Robert Bartlett, “Inefficiencies in the Information Thicket: A Case Study of Derivative Disclosures During the Financial Crisis”;
