Abstract:
The purpose of this bibliometric analysis was to examine the literature on the relationship between going concern and investor confidence, identifying key authors, journals, articles, and themes in the field. The analysis revealed that research on this topic has grown significantly in recent years, with a focus on factors influencing going concern opinions, the impact of going concern on financial reporting, and the role of corporate governance in mitigating risks associated with going concern. Bibliometric analysis proved to be a valuable tool for analyzing large volumes of literature and identifying patterns and trends that may not be apparent through traditional qualitative analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, several potential trends emerged, including the need for further research on the factors influencing going concern opinions and their impact on investor confidence, the role of corporate governance in mitigating risks associated with going concern, the impact of going concern on financial reporting practices, and the implications of COVID-19 on the relationship between going concern and investor confidence.
