In addition, an absence of promoting corporate governance at the group level, namely in terms of disclosing forward-looking information. Following a concise examination of the circumstances, the paper suggests the utilization of a novel risk assessment instrument i.e., ISO 37001: 2016 to mitigate corruption proactively. Further, this study assists regulators and policymakers to better understand the impact of corporate governance on the information disclosure of different types of corporate information in Malaysia.
