Abstract
This study aims to test the relationship between corporate characteristics, social responsibility reporting, and financial performance. The 2011-2012 annual reports of 220 Thai listed companies are used to measure the extent of corporate social responsibility reporting by word counting. The results indicate that there are significant differences in the level of corporate social responsibility reporting between groups of auditor type and corporate social responsibility award. The type of auditor and a previous corporate social responsibility award have a significant effect on the level of corporate social responsibility reporting. The level of corporate social responsibility reporting, and the type of industry are found to significantly influence corporate financial performance.
