Abstract: This study examines the association between institutional environment, internal control and CSR disclosure quality in China. The institutional environment is divided into legal governance environment and regional governance environment. We find that the perfect legal governance environment, regional governance environment and high-quality internal control can significantly improve the quality of CSR disclosure. The weak regional governance environment can inhibit the positive regulating effect of internal control on the CSR disclosure quality. However, the strong legal governance environment does not significantly improve the positive regulating effect of internal control on the CSR disclosure quality. After a series of robustness tests, the above conclusions are still valid. Our findings have some significant implications for CSR disclosure in China.
