ISBN: 978-93-93806-07-9

Corporate reporting is a key source of information that influences investors' perceptions and investment decisions. This study examines the corporate reporting variables that affect investment behavior. It is organized into five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces corporate reporting, its objectives, regulatory framework, and research gap. Chapter 2 reviews relevant literature on corporate disclosure, transparency, reporting quality, and investor decision-making. Chapter 3 explains the research methodology, including the research design, objectives, hypotheses, and data reliability and validity. Chapter 4 presents the data analysis, examining corporate reporting practices of NIFTY companies, investors' expectations, and the impact of reporting variables on investment decisions across demographic groups. It also develops a model to predict investment behavior. Chapter 5 discusses the findings, concludes the study, provides recommendations, and highlights its limitations.
