This paper reviews the field of integrated reporting ( ) to develop insights into how research is developing, offer a critique of the research to date, and outline future research opportunities.

To frame future research we refer to parallels from intellectual capital research that identifies four distinct research stages to outline how research might emerge. Thus, this paper offers an insightful critique into an emerging accounting practice.
