Abstract

In Romania, a country with a former centralised economy governed by a communist regime up to 1990, there was a tradition for reporting non-financial information, which includes corporate social responsibility, sustainability and environmental issues. This paper aims to analyse the transition to a free-market economy and a democratic society that encompasses complex socio-economic transformation processes, with a specific focus on non-financial reporting as a measure of its progress. Using the neoinstitutional normative theory framework, a qualitative methodology-based analysis of the national regulations concerning corporate reporting. This paper aims to outline the steps taken by Romania toward a market economy, through the lens of non-financial voluntary or mandatory reporting in for different types of entities.
