Abstract

Introduction
The purpose of this study is to introduce corporate citizenship reporting for banks as a type of financial and non-financial reporting and to investigate the consequences and factors affecting the information content (value creating) of this type of reporting. The meaning of value creation is the value that is created by disclosing information in the form of financial and non-financial reporting for banks, and the meaning of corporate citizenship is bank as a citizen that has a legal personality. This means that the society is made up of citizens, both real persons and legal persons (especially banks in countries with a bank-oriented development system), and just as real persons are the place where they live, banks are also citizens of the society and they have rights and duties towards it. As a result, reporting about how the bank plays its role towards society is called corporate citizenship reporting.
 
2- Research Hypothesis
According to the theoretical and empirical background of the research, the basic question that is pursued in this research is whether in Iran, corporate citizenship reporting leads to the value creation of financial and non-financial reporting of banks or not? The main issue is related to the relationship between value bank and corporate citizen reporting. For this purpose, the relationship between the factors influencing the corporate citizenship reporting (characteristics of banks and the competitive status of banks) and also the relationship between the corporate citizenship reporting of banks and its consequences (financial performance, quality of financial reporting and company value) have been investigated.
Hypothesis 1) Corporate citizenship reporting has a significant effect on the bank's value creation.
Hypothesis 2) Bank characteristics have a significant effect on bank value creation through corporate citizenship reporting.
Hypothesis 3) The bank's competitive status has a significant effect on the bank's value creation through corporate citizenship reporting.
Hypothesis 4) Corporate citizenship reporting has a significant impact on the value creation of the bank through the quality of the bank's financial reporting.
Hypothesis 5) Corporate citizenship reporting has a significant effect on the bank's value creation through the bank's financial performance.
 
 
3- Methods
First, corporate citizenship reporting was conceptualized and then research data were collected for 12 banks during the years 2011 to 2021. This research is a quantitative and experimental research in the field of accounting and finance in terms of data collection, and to measure the factors affecting corporate citizenship reporting and also the relationship between these variables and the consequences and value of the bank, the structural equations approach and least squares method (PLS) were used. In the initial model, the characteristics of the bank and the competitive status of the bank are among the effective factors on corporate citizenship reporting in banks. In other words, the relationship between corporate citizenship reporting and bank value creation is affected by these two variables. Therefore, these two variables are considered as independent variables. Also, financial reporting quality and financial performance are considered as the primary consequences of corporate citizenship reporting in banks. Based on this, on the one hand, they are considered as a dependent variable, and on the other hand, they are considered a mediating variable in the relationship between corporate citizenship reporting and bank value creation. As a result, the corporate citizenship reporting variable is an independent variable on the one hand, and a mediating variable on the other hand. Finally, the value creation of the bank is considered as a dependent variable.
 
4- Results
The main hypothesis is related to the effect of corporate citizenship reporting on bank value creation. The direct path related to this relationship with a coefficient of 0.271 indicates that the value creation of the bank at a rate of 27% (with a t-statistic equal to 6.897) is explained through corporate citizenship reporting (directly and without the intervention of a mediator variable). This means that with increasing disclosure of corporate citizenship reporting indicators, the value of the bank increases.
 
5- Discussion and Conclusion
Banks can influence the value creation of a bank by providing corporate citizenship reporting and disclosing financial and non-financial indicators, by reducing the company's capital costs, reducing agency costs, increasing liquidity, and improving financial performance and financial reporting quality, lead to an increase in the market value of the bank's stock and ultimately increase the value of the bank. One of the main obstacles and limitations in this research was the lack of access to information on governmental banks (and the lack of stock exchange information) and the exclusion of these banks from the statistical population. However, this research can be the beginning of conducting academic research at a high level to improve accounting and accountability reporting of (Islamic) banking in the country, so researchers are suggested to investigate and develop concepts such as corporate citizenship, corporate citizen world and critical thinking in financial and non-financial reporting. Also, it is suggested that the central bank monitor the disclosure of financial and non-financial information of banks in line with the rights of citizens. The most important achievement of this research is the development of the concept of corporate citizenship reporting as a valuable type of reporting in the banking industry.
