Within the three major component of total disclosures, NPOs disclosed a relatively high nonfinancial information as compared to the financial information. With regards to the independent variables tested, the study found that social enterprise initiatives and management commitment are significantly associated with the level of information disclosed in annual report. In adverse, financial vulnerability was found insignificant to the overall disclosures. Of relevance, statistical analysis also revealed that most of the NPOs in Malaysia were in financially vulnerable condition.
