The components of the web-based financial reporting implementation model were determined through interviews and distribution of questionnaires among experts, and the weights and importance of the criteria were determined using Shannon's entropy multi-criteria decision-making method. The relationship between the implementation of online financial reporting as a hidden variable and its measurement items was also measured through confirmatory factor analysis. Findings: Based on the findings of the research, the components of the presented model include 8 indicators of organizational factors, financial, economic, social, political, human, technology and finally the cultural factor along with 67 sub-factors. Also, the findings of the quantitative section based on structural equations show web-based financial reporting improves stock market efficiency and reduces tax avoidance.
