Abstract

The study aimed to clarify the importance of accounting disclosure on the behavior of Cash Waqf ‎‎(endowments) contributors through the theoretical approach and literature review. In addition, the study tests ‎whether obligatory annual financial statements may facilitate communication between organizations and their ‎shareholders, as the research problem lies in lack of commitment or availability of financial reports. The study ‎uses the qualitative approach through the theoretical method and literature review. The study found that the ‎there are deficient studies in this field, especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, that is through reviewing ‎previous literature, which prompted the researchers to continue this study in order to answer research questions ‎and achieve the research objectives.‎
