documentation. The data were managed as soft copies in the computer. The Statistical
Package for Social Science (SPSS) was applied to analyze data.
The findings show that the banks have corporate social responsibilities practises as per
their CSR policies whereby both banks have 1% from their profits to finance social
activities. Current CSR reporting status is low and shallow. Though banks reports CSR
activities, they don’t have remarkable CSR reporting status in their annual reports. There
are a number of CSR non-reporting factors which include; lack of resources, the profit
