This is a multi-disciplinary unit that explores the social and environmental dimensions of accounting theory and practice, and the impact of accounting information on the decision making processes affecting the natural environment. The unit has an accountability focus and takes an information-user perspective. It is designed to enable student learning within a context of practical issues and case studies of Australian and international organisations.
The unit is strongly focused upon the discovery of information revelant to students of many disciplines and the enabling of responses to real environmental and social issues. Because many environmental and social problems result from resource allocation choices, it is important that those with concerns in this area are able to use to best advantage the information that corporations provide. Whilst accounting information has many shortcomings, the role of accounting is discussed in terms of being used as a tool in achieving and supporting improved environmental and social impacts and reporting.
