The Extent of Voluntary Financial Disclosure of Quoted Companies in Kenya
Abstract
This project reports on the extent of voluntary
disclosure by listed companies of Nairobi Stock Exchange. The
study analyses voluntary disclosure in terms of popular infor-
mation items as being those items that are reported by
most of the companies and rare or- unpopular- items as those
that are reported by relatively fewer companies.
Secondly the voluntary disclosure was also evaluated in
terms of those companies that report more information that
other-so The project found a varying degree of voluntary
disclosure in the terms of the number- of companies reporting
each .information item and the amount of information disclosed
by the quoted companies, hence giving us a further- insight
into the nature and level of reporting by quoted companies in
Kenya.
