Editorial: Corporate governance, reporting, and accountability presents the following source proposition: This issue of the journal Reporting and Accountability Review presents a group of set-up studies that, when grouped, improve understanding of the current challenges in reporting and accountability. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because the board changes mandated by non and deferred prosecution agreements consist largely of additional reporting obligations and committee reform rather than removal of officers or directors, those reforms alone may not create sufficient incentives for boards and management to improve governance and avoid execution of an agreement. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
