Abstract:
The study examines the extent to which UK higher education institutions (HEIs) voluntarily disclose governance information and examines whether the characteristics of the Vice-Chancellor and the arrangements of the board influence such voluntary disclosure of governance information. The results show that the level of governance disclosure among HEIs in the UK is generally low, which is consistent with the findings of earlier studies on general disclosure practices among HEIs.
