The social function of Islamic banking is an essential factor in the existence of Islamic banking, and research is still lacking. This study aims to analyze the trend of the social function of Islamic banking, its reporting conformity with accounting standards, and its effect on the financial performance of Islamic banking. The population of this study is Islamic Commercial Banks (ICB) registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) from 2014-2019. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and obtained 59 samples. The method of analysis used descriptive analysis and multiple linear regressions. The results show that fines and non-halal income still dominate the social function instrument. Social functions such as zakat, infaq, alms, and waqf tend to be low. Social reports in the form of sources and uses of zakat funds are sufficient. Reports on sources and uses of benevolent funds are also in the sufficient category, but the percentage value is lower. Internal zakat positively affects the performance of Islamic banking as measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Operating Expenses on Operating Income (BOPO). Other variables do not affect the performance of Islamic banking as measured by ROA, BOPO, and Non-Performing Financing (NPF). This research theoretically confirms that internal zakat can encourage the growth of Islamic banking. Islamic banking must pay attention to social functions, especially zakat, an order from Islam.

Marriage ties must start from the preparation of communication, financial preparation, mental preparation and knowledge of the requirements regarding marriage. Therefore, marrying the marriage is not only based on love, but the reason for rational consideration.

Discretionary accruals in auditing have been the essential factor. Therefore, an analysis of this factor viewed from different styles of audit and IFRS adoption can be more interesting to study. This study discusses financial statement comparabil-ity in terms of audit style and IFRS adoption. It took the sample consisting of 43 manufacturing companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange; all have published their financial statements for the period of 2010-2013. The data were analyzed by using Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon test. The results showed that financial statement with the same accounting standards and audited by the same big 4 auditors, subject to the same audit style, are more likely to have comparable dis-cretionary accruals than financial statement audited by different Big 4 firms with different styles. By comparable, it means that different financial statements in the same industry and the same accounting standard will have more similar discre-tionary accruals.
