Does shariah supervisory board matter in explaining islamic social reporting by Indonesian Islamic Commercial Banks?

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) on Islamic Social Responsibility (ISR) by Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. Secondary data were collected from the annual reports of 14 Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia from 2010 to 2020, resulting in 1254 firm-year data. A panel data regression was applied to analyze the data. The analysis results show that SSB age, cross-membership, and meeting frequency have a positive effect on ISR, whereas size has a negative effect. However, this analysis results did not manage to support the effect of SSB qualifications (Ph.D.) and expertise on ISR. The findings imply that SSB needs to increase the frequency of meetings to improve its supervisory function over Shariah banks' management, including in encouraging more comprehensive ISR disclosure. The contribution of this research is that research focuses on the characteristics of SSB on ISR by using Sharia Enterprise Theory (SET) to provide a better understanding of how these factors influence the implementation of ISR in the sharia context.
