The research method adopted was a mixed method approach, qualitative and quantitative research design, “a way
of finding out truths about a subject by describing the collected data about such subject and determining their
relationships or connections with one another” (Baraceros, 2016, p. 21). “Both qualitative and quantitative data are
instrumental in supporting existing theories and developing new ones. Ultimately, the researcher must determine which
kind of research best serves the goals of their study” (Gcu 2021). The participants were asked the same set of questions on
their compliance of financial report. A deductive approach of inquiry was adopted, starting with theoretical research
questions and ending with the use of empirical data for analysis and interpretation.
