A content analysis of websites is used for each organization’s CSR communication, found in the corporate websites or annual reports. We use mixed research method for analyzing the content of the CSR disclosure. This method used coding system for analyzing deeply the content related to the CSR and after that the discriminant analysis for testing the ability to predict the CSR approach nature. As results, we raised the CSR disclosure characteristics and hence we explicit how specific CSR-related information highlight different levels of ability to predict CSR approach nature. Our findings, when confronted to the literature, explicit convergences about the nature and the predictability of CSR disclosure content.

A content analysis of corporate websites, financial statements and annual reports are used for each organization. Based on corporate disclosure content, two groups are constructed. We use four financial indicators for measuring the performance (financial information) and particular CSR related information (non-financial information) for these two groups. The discriminant analysis highlights to what extend specific information could predict the nature corporate disclosure content.

Based on virtual financial communication content, two groups are constructed. We use three financial indicators for measuring the performance of these two groups. The discriminant analysis shows to what extend specific financial indicators could predict the virtual financial communication content. As results, these indicators show different levels of ability to predict virtual financial communication content. Our findings, when confronted to the literature, explicit convergences about the predictability of on-line corporate disclosure.
