This empirical paper investigates the moderating role of financial performance on the link between board attributes and corporate sustainability disclosure compliance (CSDC).

The sample for the current study consists of 118 Nigerian-listed companies over seven years between 2011 and 2017. The dynamic GMM regression analysis is used for data analysis. The GMM results reveal the moderating effect of return on assets and return on equity on the influence of firm and board attributes on CSDC, evident from significant positive interaction with board size, board independence, gender diversity and audit committee.
