520 |a This study examines practice of social accounting and the reporting of social responsibility in the industrial Jordanian companies listed in Amman Stock Exchange. As operations of industrial companies have significant impact on the society, they should be accountable to the environment, and members of societies in which they operate. The method adopted to figure out the state of current social accounting and reporting practices was carried out by analyzing the annual reports of 30 randomly selected Jordanian industrial companies for the year 2016. The study found that 73% of industrial companies in Jordan are disclosing their activities of social responsibility in the annual reports. This study also found that 50% of these companies use the director’s reports as the main outlet for disclosing their activities related to social responsibility, 36% companies use the corporate social responsibility report and finally 14% are use the notes or schedule to financial statement to inform general people about their commitment to social responsibility. The study recommended that as there are many types and techniques of reporting, the Jordanian securities commission, as a government regulatory entity, should work on establishing uniformity for disclosing social accounting reports, and the outlet for such disclosure should be clearly specified. 
520 |a Ovaj rad istražuje praksu socijalnog računovodstva i izvješćivanja o društvenoj odgovornosti u jordanskim korporacijama na ammanskoj burzi. S obzirom da aktivnosti korporacija imaju značajan utjecaj na društvo, one trebaju biti odgovorne spram okoline i članova društva u kojima djeluju. Kako bi se utvrdilo stanje socijalnog računovodstva i izvješćivanja, provedena je analiza godišnjih izvješća 30 slučajno odabranih jordanskih korporacija za 2016. godinu. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako 73% korporacija u Jordanu iskazuju svoje društveno odgovorne aktivnosti u godišnjim izvješćima. Kako bi informirali o njihovoj predanosti društvenoj odgovornosti, 50% tih korporacija koriste izvještaje menadžmenta, 36% korporacija koristi izvješće o društvenoj odgovornosti poduzeća, a 14% koristi bilješke uz financijske izvještaje. S obzirom da postoje mnoge tehnike izvještavanja, zaključak je kako jordanska komisija za vrijednosne papire, kao regulatorno tijelo državne vlasti, treba raditi na uspostavljanju jedinstvenih izvještaja o socijalnom računovodstvu.
