Abstract
I use the opportunity of commenting on Cassell, Myers, and Seidel (CMS) to discuss the broader issue of the relation between disclosure quality and reporting quality. Three aspects of this relation are worth exploring: (1) joint decision making, (2) incentives, and (3) temporal variation. I place CMS in the context of this research and point out avenues for future research.
Keywords: financial reporting, disclosure, earnings quality, earnings management.
