Abstract
Corporate social responsibility is an inevitable trend in the global context. It is the responsibility of the organizations to the community and
society to ensure the fairness of the interests of stakeholders. This is an issue that deserves attention, not in the national or regional level, but
as a global issue. The purpose of article is to examine the effect of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility disclosure of 155
samples of 31 Vietnamese commercial banks from 2015 to 2019. The data of this study is employing time-series data and used the ordinary
least squares to test the model. The results show that there are three factors that positively affect corporate social responsibility disclosure,
namely, board size, foreign members of board, and audit committee. Thereby, the article proposes that board of director in Vietnamese
commercial banks needs to raise awareness about corporate social responsibility, and the Central bank of Vietnam should monitor the
disclosure of information regularly with severe sanctions on commercial banks that do not comply with the regulations of corporate social
responsibility disclosure. This contributes to improving the information quality of the banking sector to meet the trend of international
economic integration.
