Sustainability Accounting and Accountability Zusammenfassung

Sustainability Accounting and Accountability Delphine Gibassier

This exciting book is one of the first textbooks in the fast growing area of sustainability accounting. Contributed to, and edited by an impressive array of internationally renowned authorities, it focuses on the use of sustainability accounting both as an external accountability mechanism (external reporting) and as a tool for helping managers assess and manage the social and environmental impacts of their operations (management accounting).

Using real-life examples and case studies to emphasize the links between the conceptual basis and issues in practice, this outstanding book addresses the growing interest among both practitioners and academics in social, environmental and ethical accountability, as interpreted through the lens of sustainable development.

Sustainability Accounting and Accountability Bewertungen

'... unlike earlier publications devoted exclusively to social and environmental issues in the private sector, this book addresses accounting for sustainable development and accountability in the private, public and NGO sectors and across all stages of economic development... any researcher beginning work, or intending to continue work in this area, will benefit from reading this book which clearly updates positions recorded in the literature to date, thus making it a 'must read'.' - Reg Mathews, The British Accounting Review

'An excellent sourcebook for sustainability accounting.' Martin Freedman, The Accounting Review

'This much needed book ... is a useful guide for students, teachers, researchers and policy-makers in the field of sustainability accounting' Taran Patel, European Accounting Review
