Recent corporate scandals have resulted in heightened attention towards the shortcomings of traditional financial reporting frameworks. Concurrently, the rise of the corporate social responsibility imperative has led to criticisms that financial reports resent an incomplete account  of a firm‟s activities. In addition, growing acknowledgement of the importance of a firm‟s intangibles and intellectual capital has been associated with increased commentary about the need for extra disclosures if a more complete picture of the firm‟s value is to be provided to external stakeholders. This paper responds to these concerns by developing an extended performance reporting framework to the Australian Food and Beverage Industry, which is characterised by both corporate social responsibility and intellectual capital issues.  In relation to the latter, this framework presents a novel attempt to develop an industry-customised framework as called for by both industry bodies and researchers in the area.

ABSTRACT This study examines whether socially responsible firms behave differently from other firms in their financial reporting. Specifically, we question whether firms that exhibit corporate social responsibility (CSR) also behave in a responsible manner to constrain earnings management, thereby delivering more transparent and reliable financial information to investors as compared to firms that do not meet the same social criteria. We find that socially responsible firms are less likely (1) to manage earnings through discretionary accruals, (2) to manipulate real operating activities, and (3) to be the subject of SEC investigations, as evidenced by Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases against top executives. Our results are robust to (1) controlling for various incentives for CSR and earnings management, (2) considering various CSR dimensions and components, and (3) using alternative proxies for CSR and accruals quality. To the extent that we control for the potential effects of reputation and financial performance, our findings suggest that ethical concerns are likely to drive managers to produce high-quality financial reports. Data Availability: Data used in this study are available from public sources identified in the study.

In the situation of dynamic changes in society and in the natural environment, the social dimension of activity, Guided by responsibility and commitment, matters more than ever before. Responsibility understood in this way is something other than greed, philanthropy or marketing. (Rojek-Nowosielska, 2017) . The consequence of this is building partner relationships based on communication between the organization and relevant stakeholders, and inclusion of social and environmental initiatives into the com-pany's strategy and their implementation. Transparent communication is promoted by the provisions of the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2014/95 / EU and their transposition through amendment of the Accounting Act, introducing the obligation of non-financial reporting for a defined group of entities. The aim of the article is to identify and evaluate the corporate social responsibility strategies implemented on the basis of profile and detailed indicators presented in non-financial reports of companies of macro-sector 400: industrial and construction-assembly production, prepared according to the GRI 4 standard for 2017. The study included analysis of selected statements in reports on operations or separate reports of 14 companies that met the requirement of comparability. The research methods used include literature analysis, deduction, comparative analysis of structure indicators reported by the examined com-panies and GRI 4 structure indicators as well as indicators of intensity. The results of the conducted analysis confirmed the cognitive value of non-financial reports in assessing the implementation of the sustainable development strategy by all stakeholders. However, they showed the need to improve the content of these reports, including the wider publication of detailed, quantitative and leading indicators, and their interrela-tionship.
