The management of non-financial risks such as ESG-, sustainability- and compliance risks poses a great challenge for companies. In contrast to financial risks the information on non-financial risks is very limited. This renders management quite difficult. Companies incurred big losses due to non-financial risks in recent years. Corporate governance of these risks raises many unresolved questions. This paper delineates potential answers and hypotheses about the impact of information quality. Practitioners complain about the lack of support from academia. A cooperation of practitioners and academics to resolve these questions presents attractive research fields for academia. Thus, this paper also presents a research agenda for academia.
对公司而言,管理诸如环境、社会和治理(ESG)、可持续性及合规风险等非财务风险是一项巨大挑战。与财务风险不同,非财务风险的信息非常有限。这使得管理工作颇具难度。近年来,公司因非财务风险遭受了重大损失。对这些风险的公司治理引发了许多未解决的问题。本文阐述了有关信息质量影响的潜在答案和假设。从业者抱怨缺乏来自学术界的支持。从业者与学者合作解决这些问题,为学术界提供了颇具吸引力的研究领域。因此,本文还为学术界提出了一个研究议程。
