Abstract
In recent times the debate on ‘corporate social disclosures’ (CSD) has become increasingly prominent in the social accounting and corporate governance literature. A host of studies has been conducted on CSD practices in developed countries. However, such studies are relatively rare in respect of developing countries. This study investigates whether ownership concentration and the imposition of regulation on corporate governance practices (including a change of board composition) influence voluntary CSD practices in developing countries. The results show that the imposition of regulation on corporate governance practices can significantly influence CSD practices in a developing country such as Bangladesh.
