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.
This research aimed at studying the impact of firm characteristics on the level of
social responsibility disclosure by firms subject to the rules of The Syrian Commission on
Financial Markets and Securities. The research was applied on 38 companies
for which
data was available from 2007-2013.
To measure the level of firms’ social responsibility disclosure, the dependent
variable, an index was built based on the KLD index. 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.
This research work aims at whether or not structure of board director has an
immediate effect on voluntary disclosure concerning financial or non-financial data, and
defining the degree of this effect. To achieve this aim, the researchers developed
an index
against which voluntary disclosure may be measured, in the field of study represented by
eleven private Syrian banks.
The researchers applied their study to the community of banks, including all banks.
The study covered the last six years for each bank, starting from 2009-2014.
The index consists of 32 items, divided into two subsidiary groups (Financial and
non-financial data).
The study adopted a strategy of testing the study hypotheses, using analysis
regression method. The variant of audit committee has been adopted because the sample
under study did not indicate any differences.
Studying the relationship between structure of board director variables and voluntary
disclosure including the index as a whole, it was found that there is a positive relationship
indicating statistical remarks, between profitability variable and voluntary disclosure as a
whole. 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.

is contained in the suggested model, by reviewing each of the (22) financial statements of the listed companies and the disclosed information was then quantified.
The research has many results as the model is validated for measuring the purposes of the voluntary disclosure. The listed companies of DSE disclosed acceptable information which is included in the model. The disclosing percentage was very low
with the highest percentage being (10%).
