Islamic Social Reporting Disclosure
Research Guide
What is Islamic Social Reporting Disclosure?
Islamic Social Reporting Disclosure refers to the practices and levels of revealing Islamic social responsibility information in annual reports of Shariah-compliant companies.
Researchers analyze determinants like profitability, corporate governance, and firm size on ISR disclosure using indices from annual reports (Othman et al., 2009; 215 citations). Studies compare disclosure levels across Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia (Meutia & Febrianti, 2017; 54 citations). Over 10 papers since 2009 examine ISR frameworks and compliance in Shariah-approved firms.
Why It Matters
ISR disclosure improves transparency in Islamic finance, aiding ethical investment decisions by Muslim stakeholders (Othman & Thani, 2010; 167 citations). It links financial performance, environmental factors, and firm value through ISR mediation in Jakarta Islamic Index companies (Ratri & Dewi, 2017; 32 citations). Higher ISR levels correlate with better bank performance via Sharia supervisory boards (Wijayanti & Setiawan, 2022; 26 citations), attracting global Shariah investments.
Key Research Challenges
Standardizing ISR Indices
Lack of uniform ISR disclosure frameworks leads to inconsistent measurement across studies (Rizfani & Lubis, 2019; 27 citations). Malaysian and Indonesian banks use varying checklists, complicating comparisons (Meutia & Febrianti, 2017; 54 citations).
Quantifying Governance Effects
Determining precise impacts of board size, independence, and Sharia supervision on ISR remains variable (Kurniawati & Yaya, 2017; 35 citations). Profitability and ownership type show mixed influences (Santoso & Dhiyaul-haq, 2017; 28 citations).
Cross-Country Comparability
Differences in regulations hinder ISR disclosure benchmarking between Malaysia and Indonesia (Othman et al., 2009; 215 citations). Environmental and financial performance effects vary by market (Ratri & Dewi, 2017; 32 citations).
