We expect that the risks inherent in Islamic banking will lead to a demand for greater corporate governance disclosures. However, we find that the mean level of voluntary governance disclosure is less than 40 per cent. We provide evidence that stronger corporate governance is associated with a higher level of voluntary corporate governance disclosure. Other factors that influence voluntary governance disclosures are the size of Islamic banks, the level of political and civil repression and the legal system. Our results inform the global debate on the need for corporate governance reform by Islamic banks by providing insights on the part played by corporate governance mechanisms in encouraging enhanced disclosure in the annual reports of Islamic banks. 11 3 Elsevier Ltd.
