Over the recent years, social activities have been a very significant index of the activity of domestic enterprises. These events do not indicate only the development of an enterprise but also suggests the opportunity to provide certain benefits to the society. But in Ukraine today there are no approved domestic standards which contain the structure of such reports and a list of issues that should be covered in them. This requires a thorough study of the theoretical and practical aspects of social reporting, the characteristics of foreign standards. The goal of the article is to study social responsibility, the aspects of social reporting, users, structure and indicators that can be included in it. The study deals with scientific works of foreign and domestic economists on the issues of social responsibility and accountability.
