We proudly congratulate Dean Giorgio Gotti and Associate Dean Christian Kuiate Sobngwi on publishing their latest co-authored study, “Proprietary Costs of Financial Reporting, Country-Level Attributes, and Financial Statement Comparability,” now featured in the Journal of International Accounting Research.

Coauthored with Dr. Jangho Gil from Kyung Hee University, the research examines how the broader operating environment shapes corporate disclosure practices across international markets. The study reveals that proprietary costs significantly reduce financial statement comparability, particularly in nations with weaker reporting environments. The study highlights that stronger investor protections and more developed capital markets help mitigate these frictions, underscoring the critical role robust institutional frameworks play in enhancing global financial reporting quality.
