5.2 Beperkingen en mogelijkheden voor vervolgonderzoek

De twee grootste beperkingen van dit onderzoek zijn de beperkte generaliseerbaarheid en objectiviteit. Door de beperkte omvang van de database zijn de resultaten van dit onderzoek minder generaliseerbaar. Tevens is enkel gebruik gemaakt van Europese banken, vanwege de geldende wet- en regelgeving, dit beperkt echter de overdraagbaarheid van de resultaten naar landen buiten Europa. Aanvullend onderzoek naar banken in landen buiten Europa kunnen interessante inzichten bieden. Een andere beperking met betrekking tot de steekproef, is de keuze voor een steekproef met de grootste Europese banken. Dit betekent dat geen sprake is van een random steekproef. Hierdoor zijn de resultaten niet rechtstreeks generaliseerbaar naar kleinere Europese banken. Vervolgonderzoek kan uitwijzen of de resultaten toch over te dragen zijn naar kleinere banken.

De belangrijkste beperking van dit onderzoek is de betrouwbaarheid bij het gebruik van een disclosure index. Het opstellen van een disclosure index en de verzameling van data is

semi-objectief, ondanks de genomen maatregelen om de objectiviteit te vergroten. Eén van deze maatregelen is de keuze voor een gelijke weging van de items in de disclosure index. Zoals eerder genoemd hebben stakeholders echter verschillende belangen, waardoor een ongewogen disclosure index geen juiste weergave is van de ervaren kwaliteit door de stakeholders. Onderzoek naar wat de verschillende stakeholders belangrijke kenmerken vinden voor kwalitatief goede risico disclosures, kan mogelijk leiden tot het gebruik van een gewogen disclosure index in de toekomst. De semi-objectiviteit van dit onderzoek vermindert de betrouwbaarheid van de resultaten. Daarnaast is het mogelijk dat de disclosure index niet goed de kwaliteit van risico disclosures meet. Hierdoor is verder onderzoek met behulp van andere kwaliteitsmaatstaven, zoals een inhoudsanalyse (Barako, et al., 2006) nodig.

Verder is mogelijk geen significante relatie gevonden tussen de liquiditeit van een bank en de kwaliteit van risico disclosures, omdat de gekozen ratio’s van de Bankscope website, wellicht niet nauwkeurig genoeg de liquiditeit van de bank meten. Eventueel zou de LCR, beter de liquiditeit van een bank weerspiegelen. Zodra de LCR verplicht in het jaarverslag opgenomen moet worden, kan hier onderzoek naar gedaan worden.

Ook kan vervolgonderzoek naar de relatie tussen kwaliteit van risico disclosures en andere vormen van eigendomsstructuren, zoals overheidseigendom, interessante inzichten bieden. Mogelijk vereist de overheid namelijk kwalitatief betere risico disclosures om ingrijpen in de toekomst te voorkomen. Daarnaast is het dividendbeleid onderzocht op basis van een eenjarige observatie, en toekomstig onderzoek zou moeten uitwijzen of de resultaten ook significant zijn voor dividendbeleid observaties van meerdere jaren.

Tenslotte richt dit onderzoek zich enkel op de kwaliteit van risico disclosures van jaarverslagen uit 2015. Onderzoek naar de kwaliteit van risico disclosures door de jaren heen zouden interessante inzichten kunnen bieden. Dan kan een vergelijking gemaakt worden tussen de kwaliteit van risico disclosures en de op dat moment geldende wet- en regelgeving. Op die manier kan ontdekt worden welke wet- en regelgeving de meeste invloed heeft op de kwaliteit van risico disclosures. Er bestaan dus vele mogelijkheden voor vervolgonderzoek en hopelijk zullen de resultaten van dit en toekomstig onderzoek bijdragen aan een het ontwikkelen van een stabielere financiële sector.
