The Conference Chair is Dr John Dumay and the Programme Chair is Dr James Hazelton, both from Macquarie University. ACSEAR provides an opportunity for individuals researching and working in the field of social and environmental accounting in both public and private sectors, to come together to exchange ideas and discuss current research in the field. The theme for the conference this year is ‘Partnerships’, reflecting the belief amongst our community that achieving progress requires partnerships of all types – between academics of different disciplines, between industry and academia, between government and stakeholders, and of course between members and professional bodies. The keynote speakers for the conference are Charles de Villiers from Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand on the topic Theorising the interactions among legitimacy accountability and pro-activity in the social sphere; Helen Tregidga from Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand talking about Corporate chameleons greenwashing and counter narratives”; Markus J.

Advances in Environmental Accounting Management aims to advance knowledge of the management of corporate environmental impacts. It aims to increase the awareness of management accounting practitioners, investors, and other stakeholders of the financial and social consequences of corporate environmental impacts.
For decades now, organizations have been struggling to find the best way to address their social and environmental responsibilities alongside their economic obligations. In other words, they want to know how best to effectively manage their operations based on a triple bottom line (3BL)--one that reflects social, environmental, and economic performance. Recently, an international standard for integrated reporting has emerged that in principle emphasizes the importance of managing toward a triple bottom line. But it fails to provide specific guidance on how to do so. Organizations have been left to their own devices to respond. How should 3BL management actually be done? In this book, sustainability and performance experts Martin Thomas and Mark McElroy introduce the world's most advanced 3BL performance accounting methodology: The MultiCapital Scorecard. It is the first context-based integrated measurement, management, and reporting system. And, it can help corporations, public institutions, and other organizations answer the question they should be asking themselves for every aspect of their operations: "How much is enough for us to be sustainable?" The answers set internal performance standards against which operations and their impacts can be measured. Nothing less will do! The MultiCapital Scorecard describes this open-source methodology, which consists of a structured, quantitative measurement and reporting system that complies with international standards for 3BL integrated measurement and reporting. Moreover, the MultiCapital Scorecard is designed to help organizations assess their own 3BL performance in their own contexts with context-based metrics of their own choosing. An eminently practical management aid for integrated thinking, it can be tailored to any organization's needs. The authors also describe how and why businesses are gradually shifting from managing impacts on only one type of capital (economic) to managing impacts on multiple types. They also provide detailed examples of worked reports, showing how organizations might develop and quantify the interim and long-term goals to meet their obligations to their employees, community, shareholders, and the environment. The examples also show how an organization can use the Multicapital Scorecard methodology to assess their progress in meeting those goals, and convey that progress to their stakeholders.

Provides a comprehensive framework for achieving higher levels of corporate information disclosure and transparency In order to decide whether or not a company is a good investment, analysts and investment professionals need to know as much as possible about the company's tangible and intangible assets, as well as a variety of critical performance measures. Written by an international team of experts, The Value Reporting Revolution clearly explains why corporations must move toward greater transparency and, more importantly, it provides a comprehensive framework for achieving that goal. Among other important lessons, readers learn how to identify the gaps between how corporate managers perceive their disclosure practices versus how the markets see them, as well as how to leverage their organizations' electronic communications technology and tools to ensure easy access to vital information and more meaningful data analysis.
