Article Info Abstract Keywords: o Islamic Social Reporting, o Islamic Corporate Governance, o Maqashid Sharia Index Purpose Ae This study aims to examine, analyze, and obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of Islamic Corporate Governance and Maqashid Sharia Index on Islamic Social Reporting of the Largest Islamic Banks in the World. From the results of the study it is known that the Islamic Corporate Governance variable significantly affects Islamic Social Reporting, while the Maqashid Sharia Index variable does not significantly affect Islamic Social Reporting. Article History Received: 18 Ae 10 Ae 2024 Accepted: 20 Ae 10 Ae 2024 Published: 25 Ae 10 Ae 2024 Design/methodology/approach Ae This study uses secondary data in the form of annual reports or sustainability reports and other information of Islamic Banks. The samples in this study were the 10 Largest Islamic Banks in the World selected using purposive sampling technique. The research implementation time was for 6 periods from 2017 - 2022. Research using panel data with panel regression models and data processing software using Eviews Findings Ae This research is expected to provide information related to Islamic social reporting and provide benefits in making the right decisions and can be used as a reference for further research Research limitations/implications Ae This study has several limitations that should be considered when interpreting the results. First, the sample size is limited to the 10 largest Islamic banks in the world, which may not fully represent the diversity of Islamic banks globally. Implications for future research include the need to expand the sample size to include a more diverse range of Islamic banks, both in terms of size and geographic spread, as well as extending the study period to capture more longitudinal data. Researchers could also explore qualitative methods to gain a deeper understanding of the motivations behind Islamic Social Reporting and the role of different governance frameworks in influencing these Moreover, the non-significant effect of the Maqashid Sharia Index on ISR suggests a need for further investigation into the relationship between Islamic principles and reporting practices in Islamic financial institutions. INTRODUCTION Non-compliance with sharia principles has led to an increase in fraud in Islamic banks. Such as the corruption case of Bank NTB Syariah related to non-performing financing reports worth Rp24 billion (Pratama 2. This can occur due to the poor governance of Islamic banks. JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING VOL. ISSUE. October . Therefore, it is imperative for Islamic bank operations to ensure that sharia principles are applied when managing customer funds (Salman 2. Fulfilling corporate social responsibility in accordance with sharia principles is one form of compliance for Islamic financial institutions. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities were initially voluntary and not compulsory. However, now CSR activities are one of the obligations that must be carried out by companies as a form of responsibility and attitude of corporate concern for the environment and society. This is as stated in the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 47 of 2012 concerning social and environmental responsibility of Limited Liability Companies. Article 7 states that companies that do not carry out social and environmental responsibilities will be subject to sanctions in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations (Presiden_RI 2. We can also find this social responsibility obligation implicitly in the Word of Allah SWT in Q. S Al-Baqarah verse 30: aca EaEA ca a a acE eOa a CaEa eeO a a e a aEa Aac eO aN aI eIa Oac eA acaa Aac eO aN aOOa eAacEA ca AOa aacEa AacO eEa eA a A ac aa ac a eIacEaa aOIaCaA a aAE aI a aOIa e aIa IA e caOacea CaEa aacEaa acE eE aIE aiO aE aca acIA a AIA a AOa a eEa aIa aI aeEa a eEa aI eOA ee caACaEa acIA Remember when your Lord said to the angels. AuI am going to place a successive human authority on earth. Ay They asked Allah. AuWill You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?Ay Allah responded. AuI know what you do not know. Ay (Quran. This shows that the concept of CSR in Islam has a broad meaning, namely the awareness of humans on earth as caliphs or leaders who are responsible for the earth they inhabit. Therefore, conducting corporate CSR activities is also a responsibility to Allah SWT. Under the conventional framework, corporate social responsibility reporting is limited to material and ethical considerations, there is a need for a specific framework that complies with sharia principles for social responsibility reporting, especially in Islamic banking. Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) is an index created by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) as a standard for the implementation of social responsibility in Islamic banking. Sharia principles such as speculation and gharar, usury-free transactions, zakat disclosure, sharia compliance status, and social elements such as waqaf, sadaqah, and qardul hasan are included in ISR (Riyanti 2. Islamic banks in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Counci. region which consists of six countries: United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bahrain. Saudi Arabia. Oman. Qatar, and Kuwait (MoFA 2. are in a stable position with strong prospects for Islamic finance. Islamic banking growth is expected to exceed 10% (Sanders 2. This is due to the increasing popularity of sharia compliance among its members. Islamic banks in the region are also among the largest Islamic banks in the world. Therefore, the author is interested in examining the Disclosure of Islamic Social Resporting on these banks. Customers of CIMB Group (Malaysi. Gatehouse Bank (UK). Habib Bank Limited (Pakista. Islamic Bank Australia (Australi. and Jaiz Bank (Nigeri. participated in the global survey, and the majority of respondents . %) stated that they are willing to pay more for products that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. CEO of Gatehouse Bank. Charles Haresnape, believes that Shariah principles are naturally aligned with an ethical and sustainable banking framework. Hasan Usman. CEO of Jaiz Bank, said that Islamic financial institutions do not lend money to companies that are considered harmful to society. JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING VOL. ISSUE. October . emphasized that Islamic financial institutions will not support companies that jeopardize the balance of the ecosystem and damage certain environmental features (Macknight 2. This shows that achieving Maqashid Shariah, or human welfare, is the goal of sharia principles. Based on previous research, the Sharia Maqashid Index is one of the variables that can influence the Islamic Social Reporting (Khoiriyah and Salman 2020. K R Salman. Muslich, and Kautsar Riza Salman 2. Other variables that can affect the Islamic Social Reporting are company size, profitability, company age, leverage, liquidity. Capital Adequacy Ratio. Muslim Population Ratio. Intellectual Capital. Awards. Tax Aggressiveness. Investment Account Holder. Non-Performing Financing, and Islamic Corporate Governance. However, in this study, the focus is on the Islamic Corporate Governance variable and the Maqashid Sharia Index. Because based on the issues described above and the lack of research on the influence of the Maqashid Sharia Index on the Islamic Social Reporting, the authors chose these variables to be the focus of research. The gap found in research on the effect of Islamic Corporate Governance on the Islamic Social Reporting where in research (Budi & Rahmawati Prof, 2019. Kasih & Rini, 2018. Nuraeni & Rini, 2019. Riyanti, 2021. Rosita & Kurniawati, 2022. Siagian et al. , 2. found a positive influence, while in research (Suryadi and Lestari 2. stated that there was no significant effect, so this research is important to overcome this gap and add research references. To the author's knowledge, there has been no research on the Islamic Social Reporting conducted on the ten largest Islamic banks in the world, therefore the authors are interested in seeing the effect of Islamic Corporate Governance and the Maqashid Syariah Index on the Islamic Social Reporting in these banks LITERATUR REVIEW Tawhidi String Relation Tawhidi String Relation is an Islamic economic methodology that uses the Quran as a source of knowledge and utilizes the process of shura, or the interaction, integration, and development of human knowledge (Sholihin n. Empirical developments in science occur These developments can be good or bad. Thus, every aspect of science, including empirical science, must incorporate divine values to ensure that science continues to advance within the boundaries of Allah SWT. (Amruddin 2. In verse 2 of Al-Baqarah, it is stated that if it is used in a way that is in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah, it will produce something that fulfills the promise of Allah SWT in the Quran for human welfare. This Book (Qur'a. is a guide for the pious, and there is no doubt in it. Stakeholder theory Stakeholder theory, which holds that corporate accountability is tied to all stakeholders, was initially developed by Freeman . Not just itself, but all stakeholders must gain from the company's operations. Stakeholder groups will be taken into account by management when releasing information regarding company reports. The objective is to maximize the company's worth while reducing the harm that their actions cause to stakeholders (Primandita Fitriandi 2. Hypotheses development JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING VOL. ISSUE. October . Islamic corporate governance is defined as applying sharia principles to corporate governance in order to achieve public benefit. ICG is determined by whether a Sharia Supervisory Board or DPS is present. The Islamic Governance Score will rise in value if there is a DPS. There exists a favorable correlation between the ISR disclosure index and the ICG disclosure index. This is consistent with studies that show Islamic Social Reporting benefits from Islamic Corporate Governance (Budi & Rahmawati Prof, 2019. Kasih & Rini, 2018. Nuraeni & Rini, 2019. Riyanti, 2021. Rosita & Kurniawati, 2022. Siagian et al. , 2. In contrast to the findings of (Suryadi and Lestari, 2. Islamic Governance Score has no discernible impact on Islamic Social Reporting. Drawing from prior research and the explanation of how Islamic Corporate Governance affects Islamic Social Reporting, the researcher formulates the following hypothesis: H1: Islamic Corporate Governance positively affects Islamic Social Reporting. The three primary components of the Maqashid Sharia Index are education, justice, and It is a tool used to assess how well Islamic banks are performing in relation to the goals of Islamic law, which include safeguarding property, religion, soul, mind, and children. There exists a positive correlation between the Maqashid Sharia Index and the Islamic Social Reporting index. This is in line with studies that show the Maqashid Sharia Index has a favorable impact on Islamic social reporting (Khoiriyah and Salman 2020. K R Salman. Muslich. Kautsar Riza Salman 2. Considering the aforementioned research and the explanation of how the Maqashid Sharia Index affects Islamic social reporting, the researcher formulates the following hypothesis: H2: Maqashid Sharia Index has a positive effect on Islamic Social Reporting. RESEARCH METHOD Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling design used in this study. This study uses panel data consisting of a combination of cross-section and time series, and hypothesis testing is used to analyze the data. The sample in this study is the 10 Largest Islamic Banks in the World . 1 Pla. during the period 2017 to 2022. Since this is the time before and after the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the resulting data is expected to be more accurate. Selected as a research subject because to the best of the author's knowledge until now there has been no research on the Islamic Social Reporting on the largest Islamic banks in the world. Table 1.

Operationalization of research variables In this study, two categories of variables were used: dependent variables and independent These variables are as follows: Dependent variable The dependent variable used in this study is the Islamic Social Reporting. - Islamic Social Reporting According to Puspasari & Muzakki . , "Sharia principles serve as the fundamental basis for Islamic Social Reporting (ISR). Corporate social reporting primarily focuses on material, moral, and spiritual components, all of which are produced by the sharia principles in ISR. Islamic social reporting, or ISR, is a development of social reporting that connects to a spiritual viewpoint in addition to the community's shared goal for businesses to play a larger role in the economy. Independent Variables The independent variables used in this study are as follows: - Islamic Corporate Governance According to Badruzaman . n Siagian et al. , 2. Islamic corporate governance (ICG), which aims to safeguard the interests of stakeholders who uphold sharia principles, is one way that corporate governance in Islam promotes good corporate governance in As Farook states . n Riyanti, 2. "IGS is measured by the number of DPS, the existence of DPS members, the educational background and experience of DPS members, and cross membership which is a proxy for the characteristics of the sharia supervisory board. - Maqashid Sharia Index JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING VOL. ISSUE. October . The concept of maqasidh sharia was created by Ash-Syatibi, a scholar. It originates from the idea that sharia's goal is to reap the rewards of both this world and the next (Ida Busneti et al. According to Salman . , the Maqashid Sharia Index (MSI) uses three indicators: creating benefits, defending justice . qamatul 'ad. , and educating people . ahdzibul fardh. Maqashid Sharia, to put it briefly, is the goal of Sharia to maintain Sharia for Muslims. This objective is fundamentally centered on the wellbeing of humanity (Faisal.

The Islamic Corporate Governance Coefficient of 0. 0485 indicates that if Islamic Corporate Governance increases by 1 point, the Islamic Social Reporting will increase by 0. 0485 points with the alleged constant variable. The Maqashid Sharia Index coefficient of -0. 0100 indicates that if the Maqashid Sharia Index increases by 1 point, the Islamic Social Reporting will decrease by 0. 0100 points with the alleged constant variable.

The test results using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) can be concluded as follows: The independent variable Islamic Corporate Governance with a probability value of 0000/2 = 0, is significant at the = 5% . level and judging from the t count it is found that the t count is greater than the t table, namely 5. 305> 1. 895, which means that the hypothesis is accepted, namely Islamic Corporate Governance has an effect on the disclosure of Islamic Social Reporting and statistically it is found that Islamic Corporate Governance has a significant effect on the Islamic Social Reporting.

DISCUSSIONS The Effect of Islamic Corporate Governance on the Islamic Social Reporting Based on partial testing . using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) test because this study uses a one tail hypothesis, the probability value is divided by 2 . where the results obtained are smaller than the significance level at the = 5% . level and it is found that t count> t table, thus it can be stated that hypothesis one (H. is accepted. Islamic Corporate Governance has a positive and significant effect on the Islamic Social Reporting. This means that the better the corporate governance that is carried out according to sharia, the better the disclosure of Islamic responsibility reports. This is because there is a DPS or Sharia Supervisory Board which is responsible for improving good reporting and overseeing company activities to stay within the corridors of sharia. As in the Tawhidi String Relation theory, the development of science . ncluding in terms of corporate governanc. must include divine values (Tawhi. so that it does not have a negative impact and can achieve the benefit of the people. The results of this study are in accordance with the research of Budi & Rahmawati Prof . Kasih & Rini . Nuraeni & Rini . Riyanti . Rosita & Kurniawati . Siagian et al. which states that Sharia Governance has a positive effect on the Disclosure of Sharia Social Responsibility Reports. However, the results of this study are not in accordance with research conducted by Suryadi & Lestari . which states that Sharia Governance has no significant effect on the Disclosure of Sharia Social Responsibility Reports. The Effect of Maqashid Sharia Index on the Islamic Social Reporting Based on partial testing . using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) test because this study uses a one tail hypothesis, the probability value is divided by 2 . where the results obtained are greater than the significance level at the = 5% . level and it is found that t count < t table, thus it can be stated that hypothesis two (H. is rejected. The Maqashid Sharia Index has no significant effect on the Islamic Social Reporting. Although the effect is not significant, the resulting regression coefficient shows that the Maqashid Sharia Index has a negative effect on the Islamic Social Reporting. This means that the higher the MSI score, the lower the ISR score. Vice versa, the lower the MSI score, the higher the ISR score. This is in line with legitimacy theory, which states that companies have a social contract with society to do things that society wants so that businesses can continue to operate. Corporate social responsibility disclosure is carried out to ensure that society responds positively to business performance (Kautsar Riza Salman 2. The MSI score indicates the financial and non-financial performance of the The higher the Maqashid Sharia Index score, the less extensive the company needs to report to maintain stakeholders' trust. Conversely, if the company has a low Maqashid Sharia Index score, they must disclose more extensive social responsibility reporting to maintain the trust of stakeholders and keep them invested. The results of this study are inconsistent with the research of Khoiriyah & Salman . Salman . Salman et al. which state that the JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING VOL. ISSUE. October . Maqashid Sharia Index has a positive effect on the Islamic Social Reporting. CONCLUSIONS The conclusion obtained from the results of research conducted on the influence of Islamic Corporate Governance and the Maqashid Sharia Index on the Islamic Social Reporting is that Islamic Corporate Governance has a positive and statistically significant effect on Islamic Social Reporting. The higher the ICG score, the better the ISR will be. This is due to the function of the Sharia Supervisory Board in improving social responsibility reporting. The Maqashid Sharia Index has a negative and statistically insignificant effect on the Islamic Social Reporting. The higher the MSI score, the lower the ISR score. And vice versa. Companies with low MSI scores need to expand social responsibility reporting to maintain stakeholder trust. In this study, the variables of Islamic Corporate Governance and Maqashid Sharia Index on the Islamic Social Reporting are theoretically tested. The results of this study can be used to add to the academic literature and build a more comprehensive theoretical model to understand Islamic Social Reporting practices, especially in terms of Islamic banking. The findings of this study can be useful for Islamic banks to make better Islamic Social Reporting To improve the effectiveness of ISR programs and strengthen Islamic governance, investors. Sharia Supervisory Boards, and management should be involved in the ISR planning This research can help governments and regulators to create policies that allow Islamic banks to implement clearer social responsibility, project, or transparent Islamic Social Reporting guidelines. This research was conducted with several research limitations which can affect the research results, namely research using secondary data so that data cannot be obtained due to limitations in accessing the data. This research was only conducted in six countries, namely: Saudi Arabia. United Arab Emirates. Kuwait. Malaysia. Qatar, and Bahrain so that the research results cannot be generalized to other countries due to differences in regulations in each Different report formats for each country make it difficult to find the data needed. Recommendations for future researchers are to increase the number of other variables or create moderating variables as well as mediating variables and control variables that affect the Islamic Social Reporting, such as capital adequacy and company size. Future researchers can also increase the research time span and expand the research sample. Such as expanding the scope of research to countries in the ASEAN region and can use the Maqashid Sharia Index measurement with 7 . Faisal et al. , 2. REFERENSI
