Stock Companies that subject to the supervision of Syrian Commission on Financial
Markets and Securities, focusing on the period (2007-2011). The research try to
explore

accountancy indicators and financial structure of the Joint Stock Companies in Syria by
using multi-regression analysis. The study included the following independent variables:
size; age; profitability; volatility; liquidity; growth prospects; tangibility; ownership
structure; and taxes. On the other hand, the leverage ratio represented the variable related
to the company’s financial structure. The study concluded that the leverage ratio in the
Syrian companies is about (48%). In addition, the study concluded a statistically significant
positive relationship (at 5% significance level) between the financial structure of Syrian
companies and all of the company's size; profitability; and ownership structure. The study
also found that there is a significant negative relationship (at 5% significance level)
between the financial structure of Syrian companies and all of the company's volatility;
liquidity; and tangibility. Finally, no evidence has been provided by the study about the
relationship between financial structure and all of the company's life; the expected growth;

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.

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.

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.

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 aims to investigate the impact of both the size of Syrian corporations and its
capital structure on its level of tax avoidance. This study starts from number of previous
studies which have indicated the possibility of a relationship b
etween corporations
characteristics and its effective tax rate, and thus between them and the level of tax
avoidance. In order To achieve this goal, a survey study has been conducted on the Syrian
registered corporations in the Syrian commission on financial markets and securities using
secondary data with quasi-experimental design for the period from 2009 to 2014. The
results of this research showed that there is no relation between the size of Syrian
corporations and its level of tax Avoidance. However, it concluded that the decline in the
debt volume of the corporate capital structure (represented by the leverage) is associated
with a decrease in the level of effective cash tax rate and thus an increase in the level of tax
avoidance.
