The level of development of theoretical approaches to financial knowledge and reporting is changing rapidly under the influence of increasing social changes that have resulted in the formation of broader expectations of stakeholders' information needs. Paranoid reporting, as one of the phenomena arising from these developments, seeks to represent the level of functional realities without the expedient conservatism of company executives. This study is among the exploratory researches that attempt to represent emerging aspects of paranoid reporting in the form of a theoretical model and, through a matrix basis, to evaluate the central dimensions of this phenomenon in the context of commercial companies. For this reason, from the perspective of the type of data collection, this study is also placed in the category of mixed research. The participants of this study in the qualitative phase are experts with knowledge of the nature of the phenomenon, and in the quantitative phase of the study, a range of financial managers and accounting heads of commercial companies on the stock exchange participated. The results of the study, based on the interview processes, indicate the determination of 293 open codes, 39 conceptual themes, 6 central components, and 3 structural categories. In the quantitative phase of the study, it was also determined that the central component of disclosing areas of risk-taking is considered the most central dimension of the representation of paranoid reporting at the level of commercial companies due to the total matrix scores.
