Krutham in collaboration with the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) Wits University, have produced a paper funded by the Taskforce on Inequality Related Financial Disclosures – TIFD that analyses the possible impact of inequality disclosures by listed companies  and investors. The paper particularly examines the question from an emerging markets perspectives, assessing how behaviour and objectives would differ from developed markets.

The study also evaluates the efficacy of a standardised disclosure framework in addressing regional differences in the causes and consequences of socioeconomic inequality.
