Abstract

The recent trends in the global financial instruments provide innovation as well as diversification. The digitalisation of finance has made investment opportunities more accessible, but simultaneously brought new problems, especially to retail investors who might lack the financial literacy to assess the risks of the market and identify fraudulent investment offerings. However, the lack of understanding of financial management and investment practices also happens among academics. This study aims to strengthen investment literacy for creating a base of financial independence and economic well-being among the students and lecturers of the Institute of Science, Culture, and Innovation at Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthep (RMUTK) in Thailand. Using a participatory framework, the project was developed in five consecutive steps: problem identification, reference and gap analysis, solution design, implementation, and evaluation. The results indicated that there was a significant improvement in the knowledge and awareness of the participants about financial and investment concepts, most importantly ability to distinguish between savings and investments and the understanding of such investment instruments such as mutual funds, bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and digital assets. Further, it showed increased confidence in the students and lecturers regarding their personal finance management and their distribution of income to investment.

Abstract

The complexity of business activities is pushing for concise, relevant, and comprehensive reporting. Integrated reporting (IR) is a response to the limitations of conventional reporting. In practice, IR is often presented in a lengthy and less integrated, making it less effective as a communication tool with stakeholders. This study examines the role of conciseness in IR and its application in two countries: South Africa and Indonesia. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with conceptual analysis supported by a comparison of IR from two companies in the banking sector. Data were collected through document analysis of the companies’ 2024 integrated reports. The analysis was based on several indicators, such as the length of the report, the application of the six capitals framework, content elements, guiding principles, and the format of information presentation. The results showed that the level of conciseness is influenced by the interconnection of information, report structure, and the use of visualizations. Reports that are structured in an integrated way and supported by visualizations tend to be more concise, structured, and easy to understand, whereas reports dominated by narrative tend to be longer and less focused. The findings showed that the higher the level of IR adoption maturity, the more concise, structured, and visually-based the resulting reports are, while lower levels of adoption maturity tend to produce longer and less integrated reports.

Abstract

Differences in the maturity of integrated reporting (IR) implementation across countries result in variations in materiality disclosure practices, which influence its role in corporate reporting. This study aims to conceptually analyze a comparison of materiality practices between South Africa and Indonesia. The method used is a qualitative approach with content analysis of the integrated reports of Nedbank and PT Garudafood Putra Putri Jaya. The results indicates that Nedbank applies materiality as a dynamic, continuous, and integrated process with the company’s strategy, risks, and performance. On the other hand, Garudafood has disclosed materiality systematically and transparently, yet it remains focused on reporting compliance and operational implementation with limited strategic aligment. These findings suggest that differences in practices lie not only in presentation methods but also in the role of materiality as a strategic tool.
