The Department of Economics and Business Studies of the University of Genoa and Financial
Reporting are jointly organising the VII Financial Reporting Workshop.

and case studies addressing financial reporting issues. Topics may include:

 Current and future reporting frameworks for risk/environmental disclosure
 Social and environmental disclosure
 Accounting choices and earnings quality
 The role of annual reports and other types of business communication for financial
reporting purposes

All papers will be peer-reviewed prior to acceptance for the workshop; each paper accepted for
presentation will be assigned a discussant to enhance a thorough discussion.
