Hence, multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of profitability, company size and leverages on environmental costs.

Therefore, the study recommended that to adapt to the changing system of doing business, accountants ought to be equipped with skills and knowledge about environmental accounting and reporting, and in order to enhance competitiveness, banks must design and apply environmentally friendly strategies.
