Abstract

Kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk (KSS) muhasebe teorisinde otuz yılı aşkın bir süredir ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca, finansal olarak başarılı şirketlerin, çevresel ve sosyal hususları yıllık finansal tablolarında raporlaması, onları farklı paydaş gruplarına karşı daha hesap verebilir olmalarını sağlamıştır. Makalemizin amacı, mevcut kurumsal sosyal raporlama uygulamalarını analiz etmek ve Arnavutluk'taki yıllık raporda açıklanan bilgilerin türünü belirlemektir. Bu analiz, karşılaştırmalı bir anket yürüterek Arnavutluk'ta faaliyet gösteren ticari bankaların KSS'sine odaklanmıştır. Ayrıca, yıllık finansal raporlar incelenmiş ve KSS açıklamaları belirlenmek üzere karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu araştırma, temel bulguları, finansal raporların içerik analizi yoluyla ve de sosyal açıklamalara ilişkin örneklerle sunmaktadır.
