Assessing the Effects of Integrated Reporting on Corporate Transparency and Stakeholder Trust Levels
Posted: Mar 02, 2025
Abstract
This research investigates the transformative impact of integrated reporting frameworks on corporate transparency mechanisms and stakeholder trust dynamics through a novel computational linguistics and network analysis approach. Traditional assessments of corporate reporting effectiveness have relied heavily on manual content analysis and survey-based methodologies, which are inherently limited in scalability and objectivity. Our study introduces an innovative multi-method computational framework that combines natural language processing, semantic network analysis, and trust quantification algorithms to evaluate integrated reporting across three dimensions: information completeness, stakeholder relevance, and transparency verifiability. We analyzed 2,847 corporate reports from 412 organizations across 15 industries over a five-year period, developing proprietary metrics for transparency quantification and trust correlation mapping. The methodology uniquely incorporates quantum-inspired optimization algorithms to identify complex patterns in stakeholder information needs and reporting effectiveness. Our findings reveal that organizations implementing comprehensive integrated reporting frameworks demonstrate a 47.3
