Abstract

Disclosure of corporate social responsibility activities has received serious interests as a way of organizations to prove their adherence to ethical business conducts. Considering this, it was the subject of this study to examine the moderating effect of the firm size on the relationship between the corporate social responsibility disclosure and the financial reporting quality of the listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The ex-post facto research design was taken, and manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group were used to conduct the study.
