Community language is not unrelated to companies (Chaston & Mangles, 2001), which define their activities as a benefit for community through sales of products or services. They also use in the social responsibility activities (Kakabadse, Rozuel, & Lee-Davies, 2005; Korhonen, 2002) in the community-corporation involvement (Burke, 1999) that adds value to the latter ones (Rochlin, & Christoffer, 2000, p.1) in regards to the social marketing (Whitcombe, 2009) aiming to the elimination of barriers that hamper the implementation of social programs (McKenzie-Mohr, 2000a, 2000b), or, with a strategic view, in regards to the shared value that benefits community and companies at the same time (Porter & Kramer, 2011). There are, of course, many other ways to incorporate such language in companies.

The concept of corporate social responsibility is in constant development. It passes from the sphere of large transnational companies to the smaller sized companies, in the field of SMEs. Although SMEs don’t have the impact of great corporations, they have a duty to carry out social responsibility programs. An SME, as a singular unit, does not have the social impact of transnational corporations, but the large number of SMEs creates a social impact comparable to the one generated by large corporations. Due to competitive pressures, large transnational companies have outsourced some activities. SMEs that have taken over these activities have taken over responsibility for social programs to offset the negative effects arising

The aim of this study is to measure public satisfaction with the social programs organized by Bahraini telecommunication companies and the extent of their participation and knowledge of these programs. The study also aims to determine the types of social programs applied in public Relations departments in these companies and the objectives or goals of their application. The researcher was guided by the theory of social responsibility. The study was applied to three social programs in each of the three telecommunication companies operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain: Batelco, Zain, and VIVA. The results of the study showed that one of the most important aims of implementing the social programs in the Bahraini telecommunications companies was to fulfill their social responsibility towards the society and its members, especially unprivileged ones; in addition to raising awareness and developing the community. The study also found that most of the study’s participants lacked sufficient knowledge of the social programs in the Bahraini telecommunications companies, and that the majority of them were “dissatisfied" with the level of the social programs of these companies.

At present, accounting efforts have been extended to assessing the state of society and social programs, not for the satisfaction of any individual or group, but for the application of evaluation procedures in the allocation of resources to a better social welfare. In this paper we try to find the answer to the following questions: Is the accounting information relevant to the social responsibility assessment of the organization? What are the tools for measuring the degree of social responsibility achievement and what are the sources of information on which they are based? What are the characteristics and benefits of knowing and applying social accounting? The product provided by accounting is the information and, like any other product, in order to be accepted by customers, it must meet certain qualitative criteria, certain standards to satisfy the needs of the beneficiaries. Social objectives are less common in organizations' strategies, but with a rapid growth trend over the last decade, especially for large and medium-sized organizations, with these objectives referring to: pollution control, cooperation with authorities, waging and working conditions of employees, customer satisfaction through the quality, durability, flexibility and price of the products and services offered, making suppliers permanent in return for offering quality products at affordable prices and upon the agreed deadlines.
