INTEGRATED REPORTING QUALITY: THE INTERACTION OF BOARD ATTRIBUTES AND POLITICAL CONNECTIONS

This research examines the influence of board attributes—female directors, board size, and independent commissioners—on the quality of integrated reporting in non-cyclical consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2022. It also investigates how political connections moderate these effects. The data, meticulously collected from annual reports, includes variables such as the presence and proportion of female directors, board size, independent commissioners, and earnings quality measures, alongside political connection data. Key findings indicate that the size of the board of commissioners significantly affects integrated reporting quality, whereas female directors and independent commissioners do not have significant direct effects. However, in politically connected companies, both female directors and board size exert a stronger influence on integrated reporting quality. This dataset is invaluable for researchers and practitioners focused on corporate governance and integrated reporting. It provides a foundation for replicating the study, extending research with additional variables or a broader sample, and informing policy reforms to enhance integrated reporting practices. By understanding the presented dynamics, stakeholders can better appreciate the factors contributing to high-quality integrated reporting and the role of political connections in shaping these outcomes. The data supports a nuanced understanding of how board composition and political ties impact corporate transparency and reporting standards, offering insights for improving governance practices in the corporate sector.
