Using a sample of UK HEIs over a number of years and drawing insights from neo-institutional theory, our findings are three-fold.

Second, we contribute to the literature by providing timely evidence on the impact of governance quality on risk disclosure. In particular, our evidence contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating that better-governed HEIs tend to engage in higher risk disclosures than their poorly-governed counterparts. Finally, our study contributes to the extant literature by providing new evidence that offers support for the “shared” governance model among UK HEIs.
