1. In case the company has failed to spend the two per cent of the average net profit of the
last three financial years or any part thereof, the reasons for not spending the amount should
be mentioned in its Board report.
2. A responsible statement of the CSR Committee that the implementation and monitoring of
CSR Policy, is in compliance with CSR objectives and Policy of the company.
Irregularities in CSR accounting are not the immediate results of hard economic conditions.
They happen when the board is poor, in regard of corporate administration, bookkeeping and
financial reporting and when there is a perceived lack of independence on the part of specific
audit professionals. And there are number of reasons observed why corporate social
responsibility Accounting scandals occur in an organisation. These are:
Frauds and cheats may happen because of carelessness of top administration and
failure of effective knowledge management
There is a lack of allocation of responsibilities by the management and lack of
supervision.
There is an inadequate observing of managers those responsible for CSR Accounting
and control of rogue managers’ activities.
An over dependence on an instinctive management style by rogue managers and
executives persuaded by emotions: they want immense profits and they liked the
performance of rogue managers and preferred them.
A disappointment with respect to the management to identify any fraudulent
activities.
Few independent auditors fail to detect mistakes in financial statements, in large part
because they are influenced by the organization’s management.
Insufficient information technology system for decision support and detection of fraud
No efficient system for verification of trade entries.
Colleagues and/or senior management had a poor knowledge of derivatives.
Top management which is strongly motivated to make favourable reports on their
results is more to be responsible for accounting scandals.
Overall, fraudulent firms strategically adjust their CSR performance to coordinate with their
fraudulent financial activities.
Objective 3: To find the companies spending less than 2% of their annual revenues on CSR
activities and their various CSR projects.
Hypothesis 1:
H01= There is no significant difference between prescribed CSR and Actual CSR
expenditure of Reliance Industries Limited for the financial years 2015-2019.
HA1= There is a significant difference between prescribed CSR and Actual CSR expenditure
of Reliance Industries Limited for the financial years 2015-2019.
The first hypothesis was tested by conducting the repeated measures t-test. The outcome of
the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) analysis is given in the tables below.

INTERPRETATION:
The first hypothesis is tested with the help of t test for differences in mean value. This
hypothesis is tested between prescribed CSR and Actual CSR of Reliance Industries Limited
(FY 2015-2019). The mean of Prescribed Corporate Social Responsibility of Reliance
Industries Limited (M= 645, SD= 113.642) was found to be significantly lesser than the mean
of Actual Corporate Social Responsibility (M= 733.20, SD= 81.72) as shown in the Table
1.1. The standard Deviation of Prescribed CSR is 113.642 and Actual CSR is 81.72 as shown
in the figure…. A repeated measures t-test was conducted to compare the means of
Prescribed CSR and Actual CSR expenditure of Reliance Industries Limited for the financial
years 2015-2019. . The results of the repeated measures t-test were expressed as t (4) = 2.416,
p=0.073. Table 1.2 shows that the calculated value of t (2.416) is lesser than the critical value
(2.776) and it is revealed that null hypothesis (H01) are accepted. This indicates that the
Reliance Industries Limited expenditure between Prescribed CSR and Actual CSR is not
different. So it reveals that there is no significant difference between prescribed CSR and
Actual CSR expenditure. As per the P-value approach, the p-value is p = p=0, and since p = 0
> 0.05p=0 > 0.05, it is concluded that the null hypothesis is accepted.
