This research aimed to identify the reality and obstacles of corporate social responsibility disclosure in firms subject to the regulations of the Syrian Commission on Financial Markets & Securities. To achieve the purpose of the study, data was co llected for 29 firms registered in the Commission whereby the managers of these firms responded to the questionnaire. Data was analyzed using percentages, frequencies, and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Results of the study showed that the Syrian firms include social responsibility issues in their work strategies, and that the Syrian government worked on the issuance of many laws that regulate and guide the work of firms in the field of social responsibility. However, the results also revealed that the weakness in legislations related to the disclosure of corporate social responsibility; the weakness in the firm’s culture towards the concept of social responsibility; the costs arising from disclosure and related to the collection and dissemination of information; and the negative impact of disclosure costs on the profitability of the disclosing firm are all obstacles toward corporate social responsibility disclosure.

Firm characteristics, the independent variables, that were examined are: profitability, financial leverage, age, industrial sector, size, managerial ownership, institutional ownership and foreign ownership. Data were hand collected from the annual reports of the firms in question and analyzed following the random effect model, of the panel data models. The results indicate that the size of the firm and its profitability are positively linked to its social responsibility disclosure. No effect however was detected for the age of the firm, the industrial sector, and the ownership structure. The results also reveal that the Syrian crisis had a positive effect on the level of social responsibility disclosure, as these firms increased disclosure of social responsibility related to community service, particularly those related to the support of martyrs families and war casualities.

The rest of structure of board director variables denoted a kind of positive partial correlation, having no statistical indications. This variable has been noticed between structure of board director variables and voluntary disclosure as a whole.
