et al. (2014) document a significantly negative relationship between NPO size and
the financial reporting lag.7 In other words, results presented by Reheul et al. (2014)
indicate that larger NPOs report significantly more quickly than small(er) NPOs.
Consistent with the argument that larger organizations are characterized by more
resources, Mook et al. (2007) observe that larger NPOs are significantly more likely
to keep records on volunteer value (and quantify them). Several other studies
document a positive relationship between NPO size and the amount of (financial)
information disclosed (see e.g., Christensen and Mohr 2003; Crawford et al. 2009;
Zainon et al. 2012). In sum, based on the aforementioned arguments and empirical
findings, I predict that the combination of increased public scrutiny and more
resources for large NPOs is likely to result in more accurate financial reporting
(compared to small(er) NPOs). In other words, I hypothesize:
