Faculty Seminar Session 6
The sixth Faculty Seminar Session (FSS 06) 23 was held on 14th November 2023 in Learning Gallery 4, on the topic Transparency Catalyst: Illuminating Investor Confidence in Financial Reporting by Dr Madhavapriya. She introduced the topic and Mr. Sijo Matthew took over exploring the intricate relationship between financial reporting transparency and investor confidence. The research findings shed light on crucial areas, including the role of regulatory bodies in shaping reporting practices, the significance of cross-country comparisons in understanding emerging markets, and the quantification of opacity effects on investor behavior. A critical examination of key IFRS elements and the evaluation of fraud detection practices further enriched the understanding of this complex relationship.
