文献信息文献标题:Green Accounting and Sustainable Development of Listed Vietnamese Enterprises (绿色会计与越南上市企业的可持续发展) 文献作者:Nguyen Thi Hong Nga,Hong Thi Viet Ha,Nguyen Thi Thanh Long 文献出处:《Journal of Asian Review of Public Affairs and Policy》,2019, 4(1):26-42字数统计:英文2804单词,16549字符;中文4600汉字外文文献Green Accounting and Sustainable Development of ListedVietnamese EnterprisesAbstract Sustainable development is the indispensable trend of each nation in general, each enterprise in particular in the world. Vietnamese enterprises are not out of the trend. Green accounting has a close relationship with sustainable development. This research focuses on sustainable development, Green accounting according to the angle of disclosure of responsibility information in the Vietnamese enterprises's sustainable development report, that suggests the direction of application green accounting in these enterprises. This study has conducted research at 226 Vietnamese listed enterprises in five sectors, including real estate and construction, technology, industrial manufacturing, energy in 2016. The result shows that although Vietnam has issued regulations on disclosure of sustainable development information of enterprises, including information on environmental and social responsibility, the number of enterprises that have not yet disclosed responsibility information is quite large, and the quality and volume of responsibility information disclosure of corporate is still limited.Keywords: sustainable development, green accounting, responsibilityINTRODUCTIONAccording to Ominic Scriven, CEO of Dragon Capital, responsible and sustainable investment is becoming one of the most important investment criteria in the world. In Asia, this investment trend is also developing. Total management assets for global sustainability investment criteria has expanded considerably in recent years. According to data from The Global Sustainable Investment Association (GSIA), the number of assets increased from $ 13.3 trillion at the beginning of 2012 to $ 21.4 trillion in early 2014 and $ 22.89 trillion at the beginning of 2016. In this, the strongest growth regions are the United States, Canada, and Europe, accounting for over 90 % of total sustainable investment assets. Asia accounts for a negligible proportion, with a focus on Japan. Thus, in order for Vietnam to attract this long-term capital, we need to have good preparation steps in the transparency of information and improve the quality of listed companies through good risk management about ESG (environmental, social, and governance). This will help improve Vietnam's capital market ranking within the region. Sustainable development associated with green finance, green accounting.Green accounting is not a new issue; it has been addressed by Parker since 1971, the American Accounting Association in 1973, Ullmann in 1976, Dierkes and Preston in 1977 (Dierkes & Preston, 1977; J. E. Parker, 1971; A. E. Ullmann, 1976); however, at this stage the green accounting not only received little attention from researchers but also organizations. Up to the 80's, 90's, many studies related to green accounting was announced with the scope to be considered further as the aspects of accounting social relation of social performance, financial performance and society responsible information disclosure (Deegan, 2007; R.H. Gray, 2002; R.H. Gray, 2005; Mathews, 1997; Milne, 2007; Owen, 2008; L. D. Parker, 2005; A. A. Ullmann, 1985) and in many studies of other green accounting until now. Over the past three decades, green accounting has been centered around the issue of social responsibility disclosures, the relationship between social performance and the interests of researchers and organizations. And financial performance is especially in the context of emergingeconomies facing the problems of pollution and degradation of resources. Prioritizing economic development, many countries have become manufacturing workshops and over-exploitation of natural resources has had a great impact on the environment. Many countries are developing have the worry and concern given to the issue of pollution and degradationof natural resources, climate change, public health,... It has gradually shifted towards sustainable development, linking economic growth with social development and environmental protection. Green accounting in the context of sustainable development of an organizationis concerned with the relationship between financial performance and the responsibility for disclosing social information (with particular attention to environmental information).Vietnam is a country classified as a developing country, an emerging economy, which has a natural resource to be blessed, but in recent decades, economic growth has been offset by environmental pollution and resource degradation,... This study does not focus on green accounting research from a macro perspective of a country that studies the microcosm of an organization. The objectives of this research are to determine whether the green accounting status of Vietnamese listed companies and recommend the application of green accounting for Vietnamese enterprises towards sustainable development.METHODOLOGYTo consider corporate responsibility information disclosure, this paper studies the annual reports of 262 listed companies, before Circular No.155/2015 were issued in 2016, one year after the Circular No.155/2015 took effect. The purpose of the review the data of listed companies in 2016 is to assess the level of their responsibility disclosure without compulsory government regulations. Companies are in real estate and construction (89 companies), Technology (7 companies), Industrial production (72 companies) Energy (24 companies), Agriculture (34 companies). In addition, the authors also study the sustainability report of a number of Vietnam firms which have developed their own sustainable development reports to assess the quality ofAccording to Cooke (1989), Chau & Gray (2002), Hossain et al. (1995), Dang et al. (2018), "1" score will be given to the company when any responsibility information is available in the annual report and "0" if no responsibility information is available in theannual report (Chau & Gray, 2002; Cooke, 1989; Dang, Pham, Tran, & Dang, 2018; Hossain, M.H. B., & Rahman, 1995). Authors read information on annual reports, focusing on information about environmental responsibility disclosures, including Resource management; Energy consumption; Water consumption; Compliance with environmental protection laws, other account information include employee related policies and reporting responsibilities to the local communities (according to Circular No.155/2015/TT-BTC). "1" score will be given to companies if they have any responsibility information in annual reports and "0" if no response information is available in the annual reports.According to Wallace & Naser (1995), information disclosure is an abstract concept that is difficult to measure directly (Wallace, 1995). The level of disclosure of the information studied is based on the attributes of the information, including reliability of information, the objectivity of information, timeliness of information and comprehensiveness of information. So, this research divides the level of information disclosure into the following levels: weak, normal, passable good, good, excellent. The level of disclosure is assessed by the authors, based on the number of pages and detail of disclosure.All of the collected data will be aggregated and analyzed as descriptive statistics.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONAmong 226 companies selected survey in five areas above, 162 companies reported responsibility information, accounting for 71.7%, 64 companies without responsibility accounted for 28.3%. The article focuses on 162 enterprises to assess the level of disclosure of responsibility information.According to the authors' compilation of the company's 2016 annual reports, the number of companies reporting on the management of raw materials, energy consumption, and water consumption was quite high, at around 62.3% - 73.5%. That sample has focused on companies operating in areas that have an impact on the environment. But there was no any company which published information relating to the compliance with the law on environmental protection. 100% of companies reported policies related to employees, 95.1% of companies reported on responsibility for the local community. This is fairly easy to publish compared to information that has an impact on the environment.In-depth study of 162 listed companies disclosed the information disclosed in the Circular 155/2015/TT-BTC among the 226 surveyed companies that showed the number of pages published about the corporate responsibility is relatively low. The number of pages which has from 1 to 5 pages in annual reporting accounts for nearly70%, which is mainly 1-2 pages.on the environmental impact assessment. Most of the companies only reached thenormal level, that is, 14.2% was rated as weak, an excellent level reached only 5.6%. integrated liability information in its annual report since 2015, before the effective date of Circular 155/2015/TT-BTC. The report on environmental, social and communityimpacts is presented in detail, full of evidence and continues to be very well implemented in 2016, 2017.

For these companies, the disclosure of environmental responsibility information is sufficiently detailed, detailed and detailed. In the case of content disclosure, environmental and social responsibility accounts for up to 50% of the sustainable development report (about 60 pages). All reports are publicly available on their website.Pham (2011) study of 30 listed companies Vietnam has shown that the high level of awareness of corporate social responsibility is not a factor in ensuring that enterprises fulfill and fulfill their social responsibility reporting obligations, but the perception of Vietnamese consumers and their procurement decisions have an impact on the implementation of social responsibility and disclosure obligations (Duc Hieu Pham, 2011). Pham and Do (2015) investigate the factors affecting the extent of voluntary disclosure by examining the annual reports of 205 listed industrial and manufacturing companies listing; evidence from that study suggests are companies with high foreign ownership have a high level of voluntary disclosure and the company size is an important factor related to the increased level of voluntary disclosure in annual reports of Vietnamese listed companies (D. H. Pham & Do, 2015). Another study by Dang (2018) for 289 listed Vietnamese firms found that there are three factors that influence the level of disclosure of corporate social responsibility information, sustainable development in the annual report of the enterprises areprofitability, business size and independent auditing (Dang et al., 2018). CONCLUSIONSAs a result, Vietnamese enterprises can be divided into two groups: Enterprises with responsibility disclosures on their own Sustainability Reports and sustainable disclosures in annual reports. These two groups differ greatly in the quality of information presented. If enterprises have made a report on sustainable development, the information on environmental and social responsibilities is provided in a large, clear manner in allrespects, reflecting the necessary information in accordance with the standards of GRI, while enterprises disclose responsibility information in the annual report, as described above, the information quality is relatively low, lack of information on environmental responsibility, published information, lack of evidence, the capacity is quite limited. We believe that with Vietnam's new regulations and close monitoring, Vietnamese enterprises can better fulfill their disclosure obligations, green accounting is applicable to businesses in the near future.Sustainable development is still a new concept in the Vietnamese market. Investors face many difficulties in finding information, evaluating and communicating with businesses on issues related to environmental, social and governance (ESG). Initiatives promoting and implementing sustainable development, particularly in clean energy development projects, also face many challenges; The process of changing cognition, thinking also takes time. Sustainable development is becoming a central task of the world economy, with Vietnam, sustainable development being a demand throughout the year 2020, to ensure a harmonious balance between economic growth and preservation environmental protection with social development. This is a joint responsibility and requires more efforts from policymakers and market participants. Climate change is threatening the prosperity and negative impact on the economic, social and environmental lives of all humanity. Vietnam is one of the ten countries most affected by climate change, due to sea level rise by 2030, according to The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) projections, about 45% of agricultural land is destroyed and saline intrusion, 22 million those who are likely to lose their homes, the damage could be up to 10% of GDP. When it comes to social responsibility, this is the number that we need to reflect on in order to make the right decisions on investing and doing business. Thus, integrating environmental, social and governance into business processes, in an effort to minimize the negative impacts that may adversely affect the environment, ecosystems, and communities are the social responsibility of the business.In order to do that, we think that the state management agencies should study the promulgation of legal regulations on green accounting, including regulations on increasing transparency, developing policies addressing environmental, social and economic issues, maintaining an understanding of regulations on performance measurement, reporting,monitoring, testing, and interpretation of information related to impact social, environmental and economic. Establish and guide the measurement and recognition of environmental costs, other social costs and disclose information in the financial statements. Information can be integrated into the financial statement, published in the annual report or the report on sustainable development. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the auditor's monitoring of the disclosure of information by enterprises. The state should have clear penalties for businesses when detecting disclosure of responsibility information does not comply with regulations. This is the factor that Dang (2018) study has shown to affect the level of disclosure of corporate responsibility information.Raising awareness of enterprises about improving the quality of responsibility information in annual reports, such as: organizing more conferences relating to information disclosure; disclosing data about enterprises operating effectively, sustainable development which is contributed from the transparency and quality of information disclosure. Continue to issue and implement bonus policies, support businesses that they disclose full transparency information about social, environmental responsibility to encourage them to better implement and widely communicate to consumers.On the enterprise side, it is important that businesses formally set up a set of policies and procedures for environmental and social management of their own operations. At the same time, specify the full-time human resources, coordinate with other departments in the organization to record the necessary data related to this issue, then evaluate and analyze the impact, proposed solutions (in consultation with consultants if necessary), indicators, step by step improvement of negative impacts and assessment of the progress of indicators each year. In addition, Pham (2011) showed that the perception of vietnamese consumers and their purchasing decisions have an impact on the implementation of corporate social responsibility and corporate responsibility disclosure obligations (Duc Hieu Pham, 2011). Consequently, the state needs to disseminate widely in order to raise consumer awareness, thereby influencing their purchasing decisions to influence enterprises to make them more accountable to the environment and society as well as the release of information related to the environment, society.This study only approached green accounting in Vietnamese enterprises on the one hand,which is the responsibility information disclosure in the reports of the enterprise without having comprehensive research on green accounting such as the technical aspects of financial accounting and management accounting. Further research will clarify the situation of green accounting in Vietnamese enterprises and study the factors that affect the application of green accounting in Vietnamese enterprises.中文译文绿色会计与越南上市企业的可持续发展摘要可持续发展是世界各国特别是企业发展的必然趋势。

DOI:10.1007/s00267-003-2625-2PROFILEEconomic Values and Corporate Financial StatementsV ANESSA MAGNESSSchool of Business ManagementRyerson University350VictoriaSt.Toronto, Ontario M5B2K3, CanadaABSTRACT/Corporate financial statements do not include environmental values. This deficiency has contributed to the criticism that company managers do not include environmental impacts in the internal decision-making process. The accounting profession has not developed effective environmental reporting guidelines. This situation contributes to a second problem: the apparent inability of corporate reports to provide useful information to external parties. It has been suggested that by using nonmarket valuation methodologies, financial statements can be used to measure progress toward sustainable development. Nonmarket valuations are not generally accepted by the accounting profession. They are too subjective to support effective decisions, and too costly to obtain.Furthermore, demand for this sort of information appears small. Some of these issues may be resolved overtime. The most serious challenge, however, concerns how enhanced financial reports would be used. Financial statements are supposed to help investors assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows. A substantial portion of environmental value is based on nonuse benefits, much of which will never be realized in company cash flows. In other words, the role of financial statements would have to change. Furthermore, since there is no general agreement as to the meaning of “sustainable development,” efforts to operationalize the term have been fraught with difficulty. Moreover, monetization of environmental values could jeopardize their preservation, leaving some to question the overall objective of this form of reporting. For these reasons, while it is to be hoped that better reporting of environmental impacts will be forthcoming, the greatest advances will likely be outside the financial statements themselves.Key words: Environmental accounting; Social responsibility; Social responsibility reportingOne goal of accounting is to secure economic growth by luring investment dollars and labor resources away from low value uses toward higher value ones (Scott1997,Wildavsky1994). Accounting procedures were designed to track and report business activity with this as the overriding objective. There was no theoretical framework, however, providing guidance as to what information company managersshould disclose in financial statements. Initial attempts to develop external reporting theory focused on the needs of a very narrow segment of society: shareholders and creditors. There is a history, however, of company annual reports including nonfinancial disclosures on human resource management, community involvement, and environmental issues. This history gave rise to what is now called “social responsibility acc ounting.”Of all social responsibility issues appearing in financial statements over time, environmental information has been the most persistent. Accounting literature, both early and recent, stresses the need for information externalities (Mobley1970, Estes1972, Ramanathan76, CICA1997) or business impacts that are omitted from accounting records but borne by outside parties, as these may result in future monetary claims against a company. Accounting procedures rely on market-based transactions, however. Given the nonmarket nature of environmental values, the development of a generally accepted disclosure format has been fraught with difficulty. While accounting users draw their information from a variety of sources, not just the financial statements (Ball and Brown 1968), the annual report remains the most common medium for communication for the general users of accounting information (CICA1994), and for financial analysts in particular (Barron and others1999). So if the accounting profession is to maintain its usefulness in the business community, it must compete with these other sources to provide investment related information in a timely and cost-effective manner(Beaver1973,Rockness1985). On the part of the companies themselves, the persistence of environment-related information implies two significant changes in managers’views of the annual corporate report:(1)that they now address a much broader based group of accounting users and(2)that environmental matters warrant a regular place in these reports.This article begins with a review of methods used by economists to quantify environmental values and the impact of business activity upon those values. Company efforts to incorporate these values into the accounting framework for both internal and external decision-making purposes are then discussed. While existing accounting procedures can accommodate such values, these methods raise both theoretical and practical issues for the accounting profession. These issues, and the idea that tailoring financial statements to reflect environmental values could help in the pursuit of sustainable development, are discussed in the following pages.Economic Valuation MethodologiesOne way to assess the value of an environmental resource, such as a park, is the travel cost method (TCM). The TCM uses a regression model to relate the number of visits to a site with the costs associated with those trips. In its crudest form, the TCM measures only the direct costs associated with travel and makes several strict assumptions, the most contentious of which is that time itself has no value. In truth,TC models are sensitive to assumptions concerning time (Bishop and Heberlein 1979, Fletcher and others 1990). However, it is not clear that one way of integrating time into the models is superior to any other (Fletcher and others 1990). Furthermore, the divergence between perceptions of site availability, distance, and cost from actual measures affects the reliability of TC models. Perceptions play a significant role in decision-making (Fletcher and others1990). Economists, however, have tended to work with real measures (Fletcher and others 1990), thus introducing measurement error into the model.Clawson and Knetch (1966) said that once a TC model has been devised to estimate demand for a recreational experience, it is simple to adapt it to measure the value of the resource area itself. However, any problems or errors in the recreational experience model will transfer into the resource value model. Nevertheless the TC method has been used extensively to measure demand for national parks in the United States (Clawson and Knetch 1966). It has also been used to estimate the value of environmental amenities such as the Louisiana wetlands ( Costanza and Wainger 1991) and fishing opportunities in the Adirondacks( Mullen and Menz 1985). Assessments of the environmental impacts on human welfare, such as changes in health, aesthetics, or recreational opportunities, are complicated by the interrelationship of diverse disciplines. For example, an estimation ( in dollars ) of the impact of air pollution on humans depends upon three functional relationships(Freeman1993) involving a combination of scientific and behavioral analyses. These relationships are between:(1) the rate of discharge into the environment, and a change in environmental quality;(2) a change in environmental quality and a change in the flows of environmental services (such as the loss of a clear view or a change in health ); and(3) a change in environmental services and a change in utility.While the travel cost method, with its emphasis on use values, is not sufficiently sensitive to quantify all of these relationships, hedonic pricing (discussed below ), is designed to capture their net effect.The hedonic method estimates the implicit prices of characteristics which differentiate closely related products. For example, if the value of a piece of real estate can be viewed as the discounted stream of costs and benefits associated with its attributes, then a change in any of those attributes, such as local air quality, should be reflected in a change in price. Complications associated with this method pertain to the quality of the data (Freeman 1993). Imprecision in the parameter estimates arises from the inability to mix and match in dependent variables, such as house size and number of rooms (Freeman 1993). Furthermore, the stochastic nature of the measurements creates serious problems with this estimation procedure(Freeman1993).The hedonic approach assumes that individuals have complete information aboutthe asset being valued (Freeman 1993). For example, in the real estate market it is assumed that individuals have complete information about the houses available for sale. In reality, buyers /sellers of houses accept or reject offers as they are received. The seller sets an asking price without knowing if there are buyers who would have paid more, and a buyer makes an offer to purchase, not knowing if the seller would have accepted less. In other words it is incorrect to assume the transaction price reflects the minimum willingness to accept, or the maximum willingness to pay for any of the attributes of the house (Freeman1993).。

Science of the T otal Environment, 2015, 7(3): 338-349.原文The Research of Environmental Accounting ModeMount RAbstractEnvironmental accounting research began in the 1970 s. Bemons wrote the social cost of pollution control research on conversion and marin's article 1973 accounting problems of pollution, has opened the prologue of environmental accounting research. Into the 80 s countries have serious consequences for the environmental pollution, more alert, intuitive understanding, many large multinational companies began to prepare the annual environmental special expense budgets, to solve the problem of environmental protection. In June 1992, the United Nations held a conference on environment and development in Brazil, through the convention on environmental protection, "21st century agenda", will determine the sustainable development as a guide to the common development of the global strategy and action. Was held in March 1995, the international accounting and reporting standard thirteenth session of the intergovernmental expert working group, the main issue is the environment accounting; it marks the environmental problems in the development of the world as a important subject has to depth development.Keywords: Environmental accounting; Measurement; The internalization of external costs. Information disclosure1 IntroductionWith the progress of science and technology, the development of productivity, the surge of population, more and more serious damage to natural, human caused global warming, acid rain, flood, abnormal climate phenomena, such as have constitute a serious threat to human survival and development. These widespread environmental problems derived from the social and economic activities of the whole world, and as the main economic activities of enterprises lack by accounting systemarrangement, etc, necessary constraints, did not effectively take responsibility to society, natural environment pollution. It caused the world attention to people of insight, hope to carry out international cooperation norms and constraints in enterprise production and business operation activities affect the environment resources. Then, in 1998 Geneva, Switzerland, the United Nations international accounting and reporting standard intergovernmental expert working group on the 15th meeting, discuss and passed about environmental accounting and reporting system, complete the international guide - the announcement of the position of environmental accounting and reporting. Out of this guide pointed out the direction for the research of environmental accounting. After that, to solve the problem of environmental accounting, many experts and scholars put forward the view of the environmental accounting system should be established.Environmental accounting system is generally divided into two aspects of macroscopic and microscopic. Macro environment accounting is a social perspective to look at the value of resources and environment and ecological environment balanceproblems. At the same time, the micro environmental accounting as a macro environment accounting support, reflected the enterprise as a member of the society, should assume due to the business activities on the environment pollution caused by the responsibility and obligation. This requires the micro field should reflect the enterprise environment accounting system, adopts appropriate recognition and measurement method, comprehensive, continuous, systematically reflect the enterprise's environmental expenditure and income, and the environmental behavior of enterprises to supervise and analysis of information relevant to the user to provide comprehensive enterprise information, meet the requirements of the public enterprise shall bear the obligation of environmental protection demands.2 The overview of current researchEnvironmental accounting as a new branch of accounting is a combination of environment, environmental economics and development economics, accounting concepts and knowledge. Accordingly, environmental accounting in addition to adhering to the basic principle and basic method of accounting, it at the same time toabsorb and reference to include the environment, environmental economics (and its branch disciplines such as economics and pollution hazards economics, resource economics, ecological economics), in the field of development economics and other disciplines and a series of concepts and methods, on this basis to form a set of environmental accounting theory and method system. Environmental accounting theory and method of system involves the environment accounting hypothesis, accounting target, environment accounting object,etc. Core at the same time, involved in the field of environmental accounting measurement problem, given the environment accounting measurement are different from the traditional accounting, environment accounting measurement basis has the characteristics of multiplicity: opportunity cost, marginal cost and replacement costs can act as environmental accounting measurement basis. In addition, in view of the fuzziness of environmental accounting measurement can be reference to the principle of environmental economics explained; About environmental accounting report, there are two main types: supplementary report mode and independent mode. In addition, about the content of the environmental cost accounting management involves both environmental financial accounting recognition, measurement, and embodies the environmental management accounting cost control, investment decision-making, and the requirements of performance evaluation. Environmental accounting is an important part of implementing sustainable development strategy. Under the concept of sustainable development, the enterprise should be the environmental protection work through to the whole process of production and operation of the enterprise. At the same time, the assessment on the operator's fiduciary duty, should not only consider the economic accountability, should also include the social and environmental accountability.2.1 Environmental accounting research in the United StatesThe research and application of the environmental accounting is in the leading level in the world. This is mainly due to the United States environmental protection agency (hereinafter referred to as the EPA) strong impetus. Under the impetus of the EPA, many research institutions and associationreleased the stakeholders actionagenda: studio of environmental cost accounting and capital budget of a report. The report, for the development of environmental accounting, needs to solve the problem of four centers: (1) the good understanding of related terms and concepts;(2) to create internal and external management incentives;(3) education, guidance and promotion;(4) the development and dissemination of analysis tools, methods and systems. Since then, the EPA environmental accounting project along the direction of theoretical research and practical experience summed up two. In the first, first expounds the significance of environmental accounting, define the basic concepts of environment accounting. Second, EPA within the enterprise environment cost can be divided into traditional costs, hidden costs, or costs, image and public relations costs four categories, in addition to the external social costs. Finally, analyzes how the environment accounting for cost allocation, capital budgeting, process or product design, etc. The EPA argues that successful environmental management system must carry on the measurement of all environmental costs, and applied to a variety of decision-making; In the second aspect, the EPA has obtained results can be further divided into three types: one is the individual case study, to summarize the successful experience of the world's leading enterprises. Two is case set, is mainly the study of some of the same industry company; it is through the field observation and interview, questionnaire survey form a benchmark study. The combination of theory with practice to make the environment more accurately find out the problems existing in the accounting job, determine the direction of further improvement.2.2 South Korea's environmental accountingSince the mid - 1990 - s, South Korean some company began to research environmental accounting. This is mainly originated from South Korea the increased cost of environmental pollution prevention. South Korean company’s pollution p revention and control of cost from 1993 to 1999 at double-digit rate has increased dramatically, which makes the enterprise product cost rising, seriously affected the market competitiveness. On the other hand, due to the government regulation force increasing environmental regulations make financial institutions such as the external creditors more focus on enterprise environmental risk and performance, underpressure to companies to look for cost effective optimization method to improve environmental performance. Based on this, many companies have begun to realize the advance of the importance of environmental management strategy and environmental performance report, but the practice is in its infancy. Environmental accounting practice in order to promote South Korea, South Korea's environment ministry (KMOE) issued a covering the scope of environmental accounting related about "the accounting standards of environmental costs and liabilities" report, the purpose is to provide theoretical basis and the introduction of environmental accounting in South Korea relevant methods, mainly includes the definition of environmental accounting, environmental accounting conceptual framework, and the field environment accounting practices and environmental accounting in South Korea, and other standard draft.3 Environmental accounting theory basisEnvironmental accounting is closely connected withaccounting, the accounting profession of the environmental accounting mainly embodied in environmental accounting as a branch of accounting, the recognition and measurement should be the product of the multi-discipline together, its basic value can be activities to the environment and related economic activity provides reflect and control. Mainly embodied in five aspects:3.1 Environmental accounting is a new branch of accountingHere involves three levels of content: first, the environmental accounting as a branch of enterprise accounting, on the whole reflects the existing enterprise accounting (including financial accounting, management accounting, etc.), the basic principle and basic methods, and only in special cases should be considered the influence of environmental factors; Second, the economic development, the more important accounting, this concept applies not only to environmental accounting, but also in the environmental accounting factors coordination, balance social interests, enterprise and play an important role in environmental effects; Third, environment accounting is aimed at companies, administrative institution of environmental effect and influence is relatively small, or only play the role of enterprises andenvironmental work, so in the future a period of administrative institutions to establish the necessity of environmental accounting is low. This from another Angle, interpretation of environmental accounting is a branch of accounting.3.2 Environmental accounting is the product of the combination of interdisciplinary developmentEnvironmental accounting is the environment, environmental economics and development economics, theproduct of the combination of accounting. Accordingly, environmental accounting in addition to adhering to the basic principle and basic method of accounting, it at the same time to absorb and reference to include the environment, environmental economics (and its branch disciplines such as economics and pollution hazards economics, resource economics, ecological economics), in the field of development economics and other disciplines and a series of concepts and methods, on this basis to form a set of environmental accounting theory and method system.3.3 Environmental accounting to make the scope of the accounting entity is broaderEnvironmental accounting and financial accounting is the same need to consider the concept of accounting entity. This due to the accounting entity concept as the main body of accounting in the enterprises, to undertake the rights and obligations of assets and liabilities. For environmental accounting, the body is not just a for-profit economic organization, and should be considered a social unit and link in the total system, need a certain amount of social responsibility, and environmental accounting entity concept is beyond the scope of general enterprise accounting entity and should as far as possible from the perspective of social and environmental control of the enterprise the management activities. Otherwise, environmental accounting will be established. At the same time, the accounting should not only on the enterprise's economic benefit, but also examine environmental benefits as well as the reflection of the enterprise the combination of two kinds of benefits, which is reflected in the environmental accounting measurement model selection. Concrete embodiment in should adopt the method ofmonetary measurement, and to use the real measurement. In the monetary measurement should not only use the strong historical cost, reliabilityand need to consider the adoption of other measurement model.译文环境会计核算模式研究作者:Mount R摘要环境会计的研究始于70 年代。

IMPLEMENTING ENVIRONMENTAL COSTACCOUNTING IN SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZEDCOMPANIES1.ENVIRONMENTAL COST ACCOUNTING IN SMESSince its inception some 30 years ago, Environmental Cost Accounting (ECA) has reached a stage of development where individual ECA systems are separated from the core accounting system based an assessment of environmental costs with (see Fichter et al., 1997, Letmathe and Wagner , 2002).As environmental costs are commonly assessed as overhead costs, neither the older concepts of full costs accounting nor the relatively recent one of direct costing appear to represent an appropriate basis for the implementation of ECA. Similar to developments in conventional accounting, the theoretical and conceptual sphere of ECA has focused on process-based accounting since the 1990s (see Hallay and Pfriem, 1992, Fischer and Blasius, 1995, BMU/UBA, 1996, Heller et al., 1995, Letmathe, 1998, Spengler and H.hre, 1998).Taking available concepts of ECA into consideration, process-based concepts seem the best option regarding the establishment of ECA (see Heupel and Wendisch , 2002). These concepts, however, have to be continuously revised to ensure that they work well when applied in small and medium-sized companies.Based on the framework for Environmental Management Accounting presented in Burritt et al. (2002), our concept of ECA focuses on two main groups of environmentally related impacts. These are environmentally induced financial effects and company-related effects on environmental systems (see Burritt and Schaltegger, 2000, p.58). Each of these impacts relate to specific categories of financial and environmental information. The environmentally induced financial effects are represented by monetary environmental information and the effects on environmental systems are represented by physical environmental information. Conventional accounting deals with both – monetary as well as physical units – but does not focus on environmental impact as such. To arrive at a practical solution to the implementation of E CA in a company’s existing accounting system, and to comply with the problem of distinguishing between monetary and physical aspects, an integrated concept is required. As physical information is often the basis for the monetary information (e.g. kilograms of a raw material are the basis for the monetary valuation of raw material consumption), the integration of this information into the accounting system database is essential. From there, the generation of physical environmental and monetary (environmental) information would in many cases be feasible. For many companies, the priority would be monetary (environmental) information for use in for instance decisions regarding resource consumptions and investments. The use of ECA in small andmedium-sized enterprises (SME) is still relatively rare, so practical examples available in the literature are few and far between. One problem is that the definitions of SMEs vary between countries (see Kosmider, 1993 and Reinemann, 1999). In our work the criteria shown in Table 1 are used to describe small and medium-sized enterprises.Table 1. Criteria of small and medium-sized enterprisesNumber of employees TurnoverUp to 500employees Turnover up to EUR 50mManagement Organization- Owner-cum-entrepreneur -Divisional organization is rare- Varies from a patriarchal management -Short flow of information style in traditional companies and teamwork -Strong personal commitmentin start-up companies -Instruction and controlling with- Top-down planning in old companies direct personal contact- Delegation is rare- Low level of formality- High flexibilityFinance Personnel- family company -easy to survey number of employees- limited possibilities of financing -wide expertise-high satisfaction of employeesSupply chain Innovation-closely involved in local -high potential of innovationeconomic cycles in special fields- intense relationship with customersand suppliersKeeping these characteristics in mind, the chosen ECA approach should be easy to apply, should facilitate the handling of complex structures and at the same time be suited to the special needs of SMEs.Despite their size SMEs are increasingly implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like SAP R/3, Oracle and Peoplesoft. ERP systems support business processes across organizational, temporal and geographical boundaries using one integrated database. The primary use of ERP systems is for planning and controlling production and administration processes of an enterprise. In SMEs however, they are often individually designed and thus not standardized making the integration of for instance software that supports ECA implementation problematic. Examples could be tools like the “eco-efficiency” approach of IMU (2003) or Umberto (2003) because these solutions work with the database of more comprehensive software solutions like SAP, Oracle, Navision or others. Umberto software for example (see Umberto, 2003) would require large investments and great background knowledge of ECA – which is not available in most SMEs.The ECA approach suggested in this chapter is based on an integrative solution –meaning that an individually developed database is used, and the ECA solution adopted draws on the existing cost accounting procedures in the company. In contrast to other ECA approaches, the aim was to create an accounting system that enables the companies to individually obtain the relevant cost information. The aim of the research was thus to find out what cost information is relevant for the company’s decision on environmental issues and how to obtain it.2.METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING ECASetting up an ECA system requires a systematic procedure. The project thus developed a method for implementing ECA in the companies that participated in the project; this is shown in Figure 1. During the implementation of the project it proved convenient to form a core team assigned with corresponding tasks drawing on employees in various departments. Such a team should consist of one or two persons from the production department as well as two from accounting and corporate environmental issues, if available. Depending on the stage of the project and kind of inquiry being considered, additional corporate members may be added to the project team to respond to issues such as IT, logistics, warehousing etc.Phase 1: Production Process VisualizationAt the beginning, the project team must be briefed thoroughly on the current corporate situation and on the accounting situation. To this end, the existing corporate accounting structure and the related corporate information transfer should be analyzed thoroughly. Following the concept of an input/output analysis, how materials find their ways into and out of the company is assessed. The next step is to present the flow of material and goods discovered and assessed in a flow model. To ensure the completeness and integrity of such a systematic analysis, any input and output is to be taken into consideration. Only a detailed analysis of material and energy flows from the point they enter the company until they leave it as products, waste, waste water or emissions enables the company to detect cost-saving potentials that at later stages of the project may involve more efficient material use, advanced process reliability and overview, improved capacity loads, reduced waste disposal costs, better transparency of costs and more reliable assessment of legal issues. As a first approach, simplified corporate flow models, standardizedstand-alone models for supplier(s), warehouse and isolated production segments were established and only combined after completion. With such standard elements and prototypes defined, a company can readily develop an integrated flow model with production process(es), production lines or a production process as a whole. From the view of later adoption of the existing corporate accounting to ECA, such visualization helps detect, determine, assess and then separate primary from secondary processes. Phase 2: Modification of AccountingIn addition to the visualization of material and energy flows, modeling principal and peripheral corporate processes helps prevent problems involving too high shares of overhead costs on the net product result. The flow model allows processes to be determined directly or at least partially identified as cost drivers. This allows identifying and separating repetitive processing activity with comparably few options from those with more likely ones for potential improvement.By focusing on principal issues of corporate cost priorities and on those costs that have been assessed and assigned to their causes least appropriately so far, corporate procedures such as preparing bids, setting up production machinery, ordering (raw) material and related process parameters such as order positions, setting up cycles of machinery, and order items can be defined accurately. Putting several partial processes with their isolated costs into context allows principal processes to emerge; these form the basis of process-oriented accounting. Ultimately, the cost drivers of the processes assessed are the actual reference points for assigning and accounting overhead costs. The percentage surcharges on costs such as labor costs are replaced by process parameters measuring efficiency (see Foster and Gupta, 1990).Some corporate processes such as management, controlling and personnel remain inadequately assessed with cost drivers assigned to product-related cost accounting. Therefore, costs of the processes mentioned, irrelevant to the measure of production activity, have to be assessed and surcharged with a conventional percentage.At manufacturing companies participating in the project,computer-integrated manufacturing systems allow a more flexible and scope-oriented production (eco-monies of scope), whereas before only homogenous quantities (of products) could be produced under reasonable economic conditions (economies of scale). ECA inevitably prevents effects of allocation, complexity and digression and becomes a valuable controlling instrument where classical/conventional accounting arrangements systematically fail to facilitate proper decisions. Thus, individually adopted process-based accounting produces potentially valuable information for any kind of decision about internal processing or external sourcing (e.g. make-or-buy decisions).Phase 3: Harmonization of Corporate Data – Compiling and Acquisition On the way to a transparent and systematic information system, it is convenient to check core corporate information systems of procurement and logistics, production planning, and waste disposal with reference to their capability to provide the necessary precise figures for the determined material/energy flow model and for previously identified principal and peripheral processes. During the course of the project, a few modifications within existing information systems were, in most cases, sufficient to comply with these requirements; otherwise, a completely new softwaremodule would have had to be installed without prior analysis to satisfy the data requirements.Phase 4: Database conceptsWithin the concept of a transparent accounting system, process-based accounting can provide comprehensive and systematic information both on corporate material/ energy flows and so-called overhead costs. To deliver reliable figures over time, it is essential to integrate a permanent integration of the algorithms discussed above into the corporate information system(s). Such permanent integration and its practical use may be achieved by applying one of three software solutions (see Figure 2).For small companies with specific production processes, an integrated concept is best suited, i.e. conventional andenvironmental/process-oriented accounting merge together in one common system solution.For medium-sized companies, with already existing integrated production/ accounting platforms, an interface solution to such a system might be suitable. ECA, then, is set up as an independent software module outside the existing corporate ERP system and needs to be fed data continuously. By using identical conventions for inventory-data definitions within the ECA software, misinterpretation of data can be avoided.Phase 5: Training and CoachingFor the permanent use of ECA, continuous training of employees on all matters discussed remains essential. To achieve a long-term potential of improved efficiency, the users of ECA applications and systems must be able to continuously detect and integrate corporate process modifications and changes in order to integrate them into ECA and, later, to process them properly.。

Vietnamese enterprises are not out of the trend. Green accounting has a close relationship with sustainable development. This research focuses on sustainable development, Green accounting according to the angle of disclosure of responsibility information in the Vietn amese enterprises’s sustainable development report, that suggests the direction of application green accounting in these enterprises. This study has conducted research at 226 Vietnamese listed enterprises in five sectors, including real estate and construction, technology, industrial manufacturing, energy in 2016. The result shows that although Vietnam has issued regulations on disclosure of sustainable development information of enterprises, including information on environmental and social responsibility, the number of enterprises that have not yet disclosed responsibility information is quite large, and the quality and volume of responsibility information disclosure of corporate is still limited.Keywords:sustainable development, green accounting, responsibility information, environmental responsibilityINTRODUCTIONAccording to Ominic Scriven, CEO of Dragon Capital, responsible and sustainable investment is becoming one of the most important investment criteria in the world. In Asia, this investment trend is also developing. Total management assets for global sustainability investment criteria has expanded considerably in recent years. According to data from The Global Sustainable Investment Association (GSIA), the number of assets increased from $ 13.3 trillion at the beginning of 2012 to $ 21.4 trillion in early 2014 and $ 22.89 trillion at the beginning of 2016. In this, the strongest growth regions are the United States, Canada, and Europe, accounting for over 90 % of total sustainable investment assets. Asia accounts for a negligible proportion, with a focus on Japan. Thus, in order for Vietnam to attract this long-term capital, we need to have good preparation steps in the transparency of information and improve the quality of listed companies through good risk management about ESG (environmental, social, and governance). This will help improve Vietnam's capital market ranking within the region. Sustainable development associated with green finance, green accounting.Green accounting is not a new issue; it has been addressed by Parker since 1971, the American Accounting Association in 1973, Ullmann in 1976, Dierkes and Preston in 1977 (Dierkes & Preston, 1977; J. E. Parker, 1971; A. E. Ullmann, 1976); however, at this stage the green accounting not only received little attention from researchers but also organizations. Up to the 80's, 90's, many studies related to green accounting was announced with the scope to be considered further as the aspects of accounting social relation of social performance, financial performance and society responsible information disclosure (Deegan, 2007; R.H. Gray, 2002; R.H. Gray, 2005; Mathews, 1997; Milne, 2007; Owen, 2008; L. D. Parker, 2005; A. A. Ullmann, 1985) and in many studies of other green accounting until now. Over the past three decades, green accounting has been centered around the issue of social responsibility disclosures, the relationship between social performance and the interests of researchers and organizations. And financial performance is especially in the context of emergingeconomies facing the problems of pollution and degradation of resources. Prioritizing economic development, many countries have become manufacturing workshops and over-exploitation of natural resources has had a great impact on the environment. Many countries are developing have the worry and concern given to the issue of pollution and degradation of natural resources, climate change, public health,... It has gradually shifted towards sustainable development, linking economic growth with social development and environmental protection. Green accounting in the context of sustainable development of an organization is concerned with the relationship between financial performance and the responsibility for disclosing social information (with particular attention to environmental information).Vietnam is a country classified as a developing country, an emerging economy, which has a natural resource to be blessed, but in recent decades, economic growth has been offset by environmental pol lution and resource degradation,… This study does not focus on green accounting research from a macro perspective of a country that studies the microcosm of an organization. The objectives of this research are to determine whether the green accounting status of Vietnamese listed companies and recommend the application of green accounting for Vietnamese enterprises towards sustainable development.METHODOLOGYTo consider corporate responsibility information disclosure, this paper studies the annual reports of 262 listed companies, before Circular No.155/2015 were issued in 2016, one year after the Circular No.155/2015 took effect. The purpose of the review the data of listed companies in 2016 is to assess the level of their responsibility disclosure without compulsory government regulations. Companies are in real estate and construction (89 companies), Technology (7 companies), Industrial production (72 companies) Energy (24 companies), Agriculture (34 companies). In addition, the authors also study the sustainability report of a number of Vietnam firms which have developed their own sustainable development reports to assess the quality of information.According to Cooke (1989), Chau & Gray (2002), Hossain et al. (1995), Dang et al. (2018), "1" score will be given to the company when any responsibility information is available in the annual report and "0" if no responsibility information is available in the annual report (Chau & Gray, 2002; Cooke, 1989; Dang, Pham, Tran, & Dang, 2018; Hossain, M. H. B., & Rahman, 1995). Authors read information on annual reports, focusing on information about environmental responsibility disclosures, including Resource management; Energy consumption; Water consumption; Compliance with environmental protection laws, other account information include employee related policies and reporting responsibilities to the local communities (according to Circular No.155/2015/TT-BTC). "1" score will be given to companies if they have any responsibility information in annual reports and "0" if no response information is available in the annual reports.According to Wallace & Naser (1995), information disclosure is an abstract concept that is difficult to measure directly (Wallace, 1995). The level of disclosure of the information studied is based on the attributes of the information, including reliability of information, the objectivity of information, timeliness of information and comprehensiveness of information. So, this research divides the level of information disclosure into the following levels: weak, normal, passable good, good, excellent. The level of disclosure is assessed by the authors, based on the number of pages and detail of disclosure.All of the collected data will be aggregated and analyzed as descriptive statistics.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONAmong 226 companies selected survey in five areas above, 162 companies reported responsibility information, accounting for 71.7%, 64 companies without responsibility accounted for 28.3%. The article focuses on 162 enterprises to assess the level of disclosure of responsibility information.Results of information disclosure according to the index are as follows:According to the authors' compilation of the company's 2016 annual reports, the number of companies reporting on the management of raw materials, energy consumption, and water consumption was quite high, at around 62.3% - 73.5%. That sample has focused on companies operating in areas that have an impact on the environment. But there was no any company which published information relating to the compliance with the law on environmental protection. 100% of companies reported policies related to employees, 95.1% of companies reported on responsibility for the local community. This is fairly easy to publish compared to information that has an impact on the environment.In-depth study of 162 listed companies disclosed the information disclosed in the Circular 155/2015/TT-BTC among the 226 surveyed companies that showed the number of pages published about the corporate responsibility is relatively low. The number of pages which has from 1 to 5 pages in annual reporting accounts for nearly 70%, which is mainly 1-2 pages.Figure 1- The combined results of the number of pages reporting responsibility in the annualreport of the surveyed enterprisesThe content presented in the report is rather sketchy, lack of evidence with data on the environmental impact assessment. Most of the companies only reached the normal level, that is, 14.2% was rated as weak, an excellent level reached only 5.6%. Figure 2- Comprehensive results on the level of reporting responsibility in the annual report ofenterprises surveyed by the contentThe case study of BMP shows that BMP is the company that has disclosedintegrated liability information in its annual report since 2015, before the effective date of Circular 155/2015/TT-BTC. The report on environmental, social and community impacts is presented in detail, full of evidence and continues to be very well implemented in 2016, 2017.In Vietnam, a number of enterprises and corporation company have been pioneers in making sustainable development reports since there is no legal requirement for mandatory reporting such as Bao Viet Holdings (BVH), Vietnam Dairy Products Joint-Stock Company (VNM), DHG Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company (DHG), PetroVietnam Drilling and Well Services Corporation (PVD), Hoang Anh Gia Lai Joint Stock Company (HNG), Vietnam Brewery Company Limited (VBL), Vicostone Joint Stock Company (VCS), ... For these companies, the disclosure of environmental responsibility information is sufficiently detailed, detailed and detailed. In the case of content disclosure, environmental and social responsibility accounts for up to 50% of the sustainable development report (about 60 pages). All reports are publicly available on their website.Pham (2011) study of 30 listed companies Vietnam has shown that the high level of awareness of corporate social responsibility is not a factor in ensuring that enterprises fulfill and fulfill their social responsibility reporting obligations, but the perception of Vietnamese consumers and their procurement decisions have an impact on the implementation of social responsibility and disclosure obligations (Duc Hieu Pham, 2011). Pham and Do (2015) investigate the factors affecting the extent of voluntary disclosure by examining the annual reports of 205 listed industrial and manufacturing companies listing; evidence from that study suggests are companies with high foreign ownership have a high level of voluntary disclosure and the company size is an important factor related to the increased level of voluntary disclosure in annual reports of Vietnamese listed companies (D. H. Pham & Do, 2015). Another study by Dang (2018) for 289 listed Vietnamese firms found that there are three factors that influence the level of disclosure of corporate social responsibility information, sustainable development in the annual report of the enterprises are profitability, business size and independent auditing (Dang et al., 2018).CONCLUSIONSAs a result, Vietnamese enterprises can be divided into two groups: Enterprises with responsibility disclosures on their own Sustainability Reports and sustainable disclosures in annual reports. These two groups differ greatly in the quality of information presented. If enterprises have made a report on sustainable development, the information on environmental and social responsibilities is provided in a large, clear manner in all respects, reflecting the necessary information in accordance with the standards of GRI, while enterprises disclose responsibility information in the annual report, as described above, the information quality is relatively low, lack of information on environmental responsibility, published information, lack of evidence, the capacity is quite limited. We believe that with Vietnam's new regulations and close monitoring, Vietnamese enterprises can better fulfill their disclosure obligations, green accounting is applicable to businesses in the near future.Sustainable development is still a new concept in the Vietnamese market. Investors face many difficulties in finding information, evaluating and communicating with businesses on issues related to environmental, social and governance (ESG). Initiatives promoting and implementing sustainable development, particularly in clean energy development projects, also face many challenges; The process of changing cognition, thinking also takes time. Sustainable development is becoming a central task of the world economy, with Vietnam, sustainable development being a demand throughout the year 2020, to ensure a harmonious balance between economic growth and preservation environmental protection with social development. This is a joint responsibility and requires more efforts from policymakers and market participants. Climate change is threatening the prosperity and negative impact on the economic, social and environmental lives of all humanity. Vietnam is one of the ten countries most affected by climate change, due to sea level rise by 2030, according to The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) projections, about 45% of agricultural land is destroyed and saline intrusion, 22 million those who are likely to lose their homes, the damage could be up to 10% of GDP. When it comes to socialresponsibility, this is the number that we need to reflect on in order to make the right decisions on investing and doing business. Thus, integrating environmental, social and governance into business processes, in an effort to minimize the negative impacts that may adversely affect the environment, ecosystems, and communities are the social responsibility of the business.In order to do that, we think that the state management agencies should study the promulgation of legal regulations on green accounting, including regulations on increasing transparency, developing policies addressing environmental, social and economic issues, maintaining an understanding of regulations on performance measurement, reporting, monitoring, testing, and interpretation of information related to impact social, environmental and economic. Establish and guide the measurement and recognition of environmental costs, other social costs and disclose information in the financial statements. Information can be integrated into the financial statement, published in the annual report or the report on sustainable development. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the auditor's monitoring of the disclosure of information by enterprises. The state should have clear penalties for businesses when detecting disclosure of responsibility information does not comply with regulations. This is the factor that Dang (2018) study has shown to affect the level of disclosure of corporate responsibility information.Raising awareness of enterprises about improving the quality of responsibility information in annual reports, such as: organizing more conferences relating to information disclosure; disclosing data about enterprises operating effectively, sustainable development which is contributed from the transparency and quality of information disclosure. Continue to issue and implement bonus policies, support businesses that they disclose full transparency information about social, environmental responsibility to encourage them to better implement and widely communicate to consumers.On the enterprise side, it is important that businesses formally set up a set of policies and procedures for environmental and social management of their own operations. At the same time, specify the full-time human resources, coordinate withother departments in the organization to record the necessary data related to this issue, then evaluate and analyze the impact, proposed solutions (in consultation with consultants if necessary), indicators, step by step improvement of negative impacts and assessment of the progress of indicators each year. In addition, Pham (2011) showed that the perception of vietnamese consumers and their purchasing decisions have an impact on the implementation of corporate social responsibility and corporate responsibility disclosure obligations (Duc Hieu Pham, 2011). Consequently, the state needs to disseminate widely in order to raise consumer awareness, thereby influencing their purchasing decisions to influence enterprises to make them more accountable to the environment and society as well as the release of information related to the environment, society.This study only approached green accounting in Vietnamese enterprises on the one hand, which is the responsibility information disclosure in the reports of the enterprise without having comprehensive research on green accounting such as the technical aspects of financial accounting and management accounting. Further research will clarify the situation of green accounting in Vietnamese enterprises and study the factors that affect the application of green accounting in Vietnamese enterprises.中文译文绿色会计与越南上市企业的可持续发展摘要可持续发展是世界各国特别是企业发展的必然趋势。

绿色企业促进可持续发展英文作文

绿色企业促进可持续发展英文作文The world we live in today faces numerous environmental challenges that threaten the delicate balance of our ecosystem. Climate change, resource depletion, and pollution are just a few of the pressing issues that demand immediate attention. In this context, the role of businesses in promoting sustainable development has become increasingly crucial. Green enterprises, those that prioritize environmental responsibility and sustainability, have emerged as beacons of hope, leading the charge towards a more sustainable future.At the heart of the green enterprise movement is the recognition that economic growth and environmental protection need not be mutually exclusive. In fact, the two can and must coexist if we are to ensure the long-term viability of our planet. Green enterprises understand that by adopting eco-friendly practices, they can not only reduce their environmental impact but also reap significant benefits in terms of cost savings, brand reputation, and long-term resilience.One of the primary ways in which green enterprises promote sustainable development is through the adoption of renewable energy sources. By investing in solar, wind, or hydroelectric power, these companies reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. This not only helps to mitigate the effects of climate change but also creates new jobs in the renewable energy sector, further bolstering the sustainable development agenda.Another key aspect of green enterprises is their commitment to waste reduction and recycling. These companies implement innovative strategies to minimize waste, reuse materials, and recycle where possible. This not only reduces the strain on landfills and natural resources but also creates new opportunities for the circular economy, where waste is transformed into valuable raw materials for other products.Beyond energy and waste management, green enterprises also prioritize sustainable sourcing and supply chain practices. They work closely with their suppliers to ensure that the materials and goods they use are produced in an environmentally responsible manner, with a focus on reducing the carbon footprint and promoting ethical labor practices. This holistic approach to sustainability helps to create a ripple effect throughout the entire value chain, encouraging other businesses to adopt similar eco-friendly practices.One of the most inspiring aspects of green enterprises is their ability to drive innovation and technological advancements. These companies invest heavily in research and development, seeking to develop new products, services, and processes that are more sustainable and efficient. From the development of eco-friendly materials to the creation of smart city solutions, green enterprises are at the forefront of the sustainable technology revolution, paving the way for a more environmentally conscious future.Importantly, green enterprises recognize the importance of engaging with their local communities and stakeholders. These companies often collaborate with non-profit organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions to raise awareness about sustainability, promote environmental education, and support community-based initiatives. By fostering these partnerships, green enterprises help to build a more informed and engaged citizenry, empowering individuals to make more sustainable choices in their daily lives.The impact of green enterprises extends beyond the environmental realm, as they also contribute to the social and economic well-being of the communities in which they operate. By creating green jobs and promoting sustainable livelihoods, these companies help to address issues of poverty, inequality, and social inclusion.Additionally, many green enterprises prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in their hiring and management practices, further strengthening their commitment to sustainable development.As the world continues to grapple with the pressing challenges of environmental degradation, green enterprises have emerged as beacons of hope, demonstrating that it is possible to achieve economic prosperity while also safeguarding the health of our planet. By embracing innovative, eco-friendly practices and fostering a culture of sustainability, these companies are paving the way for a future where environmental protection and economic growth can coexist in harmony.However, the success of green enterprises is not solely dependent on their own efforts. Governments, policymakers, and consumers also have a critical role to play in supporting and incentivizing sustainable business practices. Through the implementation of robust environmental regulations, the provision of financial incentives for green investments, and the promotion of sustainable consumer behavior, we can create an enabling environment that empowers green enterprises to thrive and scale their impact.In conclusion, the rise of green enterprises represents a profound shift in the way we approach business and development. By prioritizing environmental sustainability, these companies are notonly mitigating the risks of climate change and resource depletion but also creating new opportunities for innovation, job creation, and community engagement. As we strive to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the contributions of green enterprises will be essential in building a more resilient, equitable, and environmentally conscious future for all.。

There were numerous reviewers from government and private organizations. Additionally, the following provided important advice and/or reference materials:* Small Business Ombudsman, Maine Department of Environmental Protection* Tennessee Small Business Assistance Program* New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection* Massachusetts Office of Technical Assistance for Toxics Use Reduction (OTA)* Iowa Waste Reduction Center, University of Northern Iowa* Florida Small Business Assistance ProgramThe products and services included in this document were contributed for review by commercial and government sources. The project team is thankful for their timely cooperation.ABSTRACTInternational and national standards, and in some cases corporate policies require that planned and scheduled audits be performed to verify all aspects of environmental compliance and to determine effective implementation of the environmental management program. An example of this can be found in the definition of auditing as provided by U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Policy Statement on Environmental Auditing. It defines environmental auditing as follows:"Environmental auditing is a systematic, documented, periodic and objective reviewby regulated entities of facility operations and practices related to meetingenvironmental requirements. Audits can be designed to accomplish any or all ofthe following: verify compliance with environmental requirements, evaluate theeffectiveness of environmental management systems already in place, or assess risksfrom regulated and unregulated materials and practices.Auditing serves as a quality assurance check to help improve the effectiveness ofbasic environmental management by verifying that management practices are inplace, functioning and adequate. ''Many specifications further emphasize that the audit be performed to written procedures or checklists (to provide later documentation) by personnel who do not have direct responsibility for performing the activities being audited. The results of such audits are generally required to be documented, reported to, and reviewed by, responsible management. Follow-up action will be taken where indicated. The responsible organization can then take follow-up action as needed.An effective auditing program is a useful tool for improving environmental compliance. If developed properly, the program will point out areas of weakness and areas of potential problems. An auditing program will also identify environmental compliance activities that meet or exceed expectations.At the Pacific Northwest Laboratory(PNL), Environmental Audits used to consist of nontechnical auditors auditing to findings published in General Accounting Office reports. Today's practice of deploying a composite team of technical specialists and nontechncial auditors to audit to specific environmental programmatic requirements provides, we believe, a significant improvement.国际和国家的标准, 而且在一些情形企业的政策需要那计划了的和预定的稽核是运行到查证所有的环境服从的方面和决定环境管理的有效落实计画。

Environmental AccountingWhere We Are Now, Where We Are Headingby Joy E. HechtInterest is growing in modifying national income accounting systems to promote understanding of the links between economy and environment.T he field of environmental accounting has made great strides in the past two decades, moving from a rather arcane endeavor to one tested in dozens of countries and well established in a few. But the idea that nations might integrate the economic role of the environment into their income accounts is neither a quick sell nor a quick process; it has been under discussion since the 1960s. Despite the difficulties and controversies described in this article, however, interest is growing in modifying national income accounting systems to promote understanding of the links between economy and environment.Why Change?Governments around the world develop economic data systems known as national income accounts to calculate macroeconomic indicators such as gross domestic product. Building a nation’s econ omic use of the environment into such accounts is a response to several perceived flaws in the System of National Accounts (SNA), as defined by the United Nations and used internationally. One flaw in the SNA often cited is that the cost of environmental protection cannot be identified. Consequently, money spent, say, to put pollution control devices on smokestacks increases GDP, even though the expenditure is not economically productive, some argue. These critics call for differentiating “defensive” expend itures from others within the accounts. Also misleading is the fact that some environmental goods are not marketed though they provide economic value. Fuelwood gathered in forests, meat and fish gathered for consumption, and medicinal plants are examples. So are drinking and irrigation water, whose sale prices reflect the cost of distribution and treatment infrastructure, but not the water itself. While some countries do include such goods in their national income accounts, no standard practices exist for doing so. When nonmarketed goods are included in the accounts, they still cannot be distinguished from those that are marketed.Valuing environmental services such as the watershed protection that forests afford and the crop fertilization that insects provide is difficult. Though some experts call for their inclusion in environmentally adjusted accounts, typically neither the economic value nor the degradation of these services is included. On the other hand, however, the alternate goods and services needed to replace them—water treatment plants, for example—do contribute to GDP, which can be rather misleading.Still another problem is that national income accounts treat the depreciation of manufactured capital and natural capital differently. Physical capital—a building or a machine, for instance—is depreciated in accordance with conventional business accounting principles, while all consumption of natural capital is accounted for as income. Thus the accounts of a country that harvests its forests unsustainably willshow high income for a few years, but will not reflect the destruction of the productive forest asset. While opinions vary on how to depreciate natural capital, they converge on the need to do so.Which Indicators Are Useful?Some proponents ad vocate simple “flag” indicators to alert policymakers to the broad role of the environment in the economy, for example, comparing conventional GDP with environmentally adjusted GDP, or conventional savings with so-called “genuine” savings that account for environmental factors. Both of these indicators can provide valuable warnings of the impacts of environmental degradation on an economy.However, such flags are less useful in determining the source of environmental harm or identifying a policy response. For this reason, many economists place primary importance not on the bottom line, but on the underlying data used to build environmental accounts. These data can help answer such questions as how natural catastrophes like the fires that raged in Indonesia in the summer of 1998 may affect economic growth, or how environmental protection policies such as green taxes may affect the economy.Who Is Doing This?Environmental accounting is underway in several dozen countries, where bureaucrats, statisticians, and other proponents both foreign and domestic have initiated activities over the past few decades. Several countries have made continuous investments in building routine data systems, which are integrated into existing statistical systems and economic planning activities. Others have made more limited efforts to calculate a few indicators, or analyze a single sector. Some of the earliest research on environmental accounting was done at RFF by Henry Peskin, working on the design of accounts for the United States.One of the first countries to build environmental accounts is Norway, which began collecting data on energy sources, fisheries, forests, and minerals in the 1970s to address resource scarcity. Over time, the Norwegians have expanded their accounts to include data on air pollutant emissions. Their accounts feed into a model of the national economy, which policymakers use to assess the energy implications of alternate growth strategies. Inclusion of these data also allows them to anticipate the impacts of different growth patterns on compliance with international conventions on pollutant emissions.More recently, a number of resource-dependent countries have become interested in measuring depreciation of their natural assets and adjusting their GDPs envi ronmentally. One impetus for their interest was the 1989 study “Wasting Assets: Natural Resources in the National Income Accounts,” in which Robert Repetto and his colleagues at the World Resources Institute estimated the depreciation of Indonesia’s forest s, petroleum reserves, and soil assets. Once adjusted to account for that depreciation, Indonesia’s GDP and growth rates both sank significantly below conventional figures. While “Wasting Assets” called many to action, it also operated as a brake, leading many economists and statisticians to warn against a focus on green GDP, because it tells decisionmakers nothing about the causes or solutions forenvironmental problems.Since that time, several developing countries have made long-term commitments to broad-based environmental accounting. Namibia began work on resource accounts in 1994, addressing such questions as whether the government has been able to capture rents from the minerals and fisheries sectors, how to allocate scarce water supplies, and how rangeland degradation affects the value of livestock.The Philippines began work on environmental accounts in 1990. The approach used there is to build all economic inputs and outputs into the accounts, including nonmarketed goods and services of the environment. Thus Filipinos estimate monetary values for such items as gathered fuelwood and the waste disposal services provided by air, water, and land; they then add in direct consumption of such services as recreation and aesthetic appreciation of the natural world. While their methodology is controversial, these accounts have provided Philippine government agencies and researchers with a rich array of data for policymaking and analysis.The United States has not been a leader in the environmental accounting arena. At the start of the Clinton administration, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) made a foray into environmental accounting in the minerals sector, but this preliminary attempt became embroiled in political controversy and faced opposition from the minerals industry. Congress then asked the National Research Council (NRC) to form a blue ribbon panel to consider what the nation should do in the way of environmental accounting. Since then, Congressional appropriations to BEA have been accompanied by an explicit prohibition on environmental accounting work. The ban may be lifted, however, once the recommendations of the NRC study are made public.Toward Consensus on MethodEnvironmental accounting would receive a substantial boost if an international consensus could be reached on methodology. The UN Statistics Department has coordinated some of the ongoing efforts toward this end since the 1980s. In 1993, the UN published the System for Integrated Economic and Environmental Accounting (SEEA) as an annex to the 1993 revisions of the SNA. SEEA is structured as a series of methodological options, which include most of the different accounting activities described above; users choose the options most appropriate to their needs.No consensus exists on the various methods that the UN recommended. In fact, SEEA is now undergoing revision by the so-called “London Group,” comprised primarily of national income accountants and statisticians from OECD countries. The group’s work will be an important step toward con sensus on accounting methods, but the process will be lengthy: Development of the conventional SNA took some forty years.Toward Widespread UseA number of steps can be taken now toward the goal of ensuring that environmental accounting is as well established as the SNA. First, information must circulate freely about existing environmental accounts and how they are contributing to economic and environmental policy. Ongoing work needs to be identified and systematically reviewed and analyzed to learn lessons, which may inform the design andimplementation of future accounting activities. The Green Accounting Initiative of the World Conservation Union has embarked on this effort, and a number of other organizations are calling for similar activities. Use of the World Wide Web may facilitate access to unpublished work, although it will require a concerted effort to obtain accounting reports and seek permission to load them on the Internet.Second, development of a core of internationally standardized methods will contribute to willingness to adopt environmental accounting. Experts in the field—including economists, environmentalists, academics, and others outside of the national statistical offices—should take a proactive role in tracking the work of the London Group and insist that the standard- setting process involve participants representing a spectrum of viewpoints, countries, and interested stakeholders. An opportunity exists for research institutes to take a lead in identifying the financial resources needed to facilitate a broader standardsetting process, and to elicit a full range of voices to build a consensus on methodology.Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the more countries institutionalize construction of environmental accounts, the greater the momentum for more of the same.环境会计我们现在所处的状况及我们前进的方向by Joy E.

Since then, Congressional appropriations to BEA have been accompanied by an explicit prohibition on environmental accounting work. The ban may be lifted, however, once the recommendations of the NRC study are made public.How environmental accounting is being done varies in a number of respects, notably the magnitude of the investment required, the objectivity of the data, the ability to compare different kinds of environmental impacts, and the kinds of policy purposes to which they may be applied. Here are some of the methods currently in u se.Natural Resource Accounts. These include data on stocks of natural resources and changes in them caused by either natural processes or human use. Such accounts typically cover agricultural land, fisheries, forests, minerals and petroleum, and water. In some countries, the accounts also include monetary data on the value of such resources. But attempts at valuation raise significant technical difficulties. It is fairly easy to track the value of resource flows when the goods are sold in markets, as in the case of timber and fish. Valuing changes in the stocks, however, is more difficult because they could be the result either of a physical change in the resource or of a fluctuation in market price.Green GDP. Developing a gross domestic product that includes the environment is also a matter of controversy. Most people actively involved in building environmental accounts minimize its importance. Because environmental accounting methods are not standardized, a green GDP can have a different meaning in each project that calculates it, so values are not comparable across countries. Moreover, while a green GDP can draw attention to policy problems, it is not useful for figuring out how to resolve them. Nevertheless, most accounting projects that include monetary values do calculate this indicator. Great interest in it exists despite its limitations.Environmental accounting would receive a substantial boost if an international consensus could be reached on methodology. The UN Statistics Department has coordinated some of the ongoing efforts toward this end since the 1980s. In 1993, theUN published the System for Integrated Economic and Environmental Accounting (SEEA) as an annex to the 1993 revisions of the SNA.

Their construction will require sustained institutional and financial commitment to ensure that the investment lasts long enough to yield results. But the experiences of Norway, Namibia, and the Philippines show that such a commitment can pay off; it is a commitment that more countries around the world need to make.环境会计by Joy E.

This article obtains from the significance for the sustainable development of enterprises, analyzes the key factors for the sustainable development of enterprise, puts forward the countermeasures for the sustainable development of enterprises.Keywords: Enterprise sustainable development; The key factors; CountermeasuresIntroductionEnterprises in the process of development, adhere to continuous innovation in order to maintain their vitality and competitive advantage, increased market share and profit growth are guaranteed, at the same time, inside the optimize allocation of resources, on the basis of and adapt to changing external environment, reasonable use of natural resources and energy, continue to increase profits and expand the scale of enterprises, realize the strategic target of enterprise sustainable development.Enterprise sustainable development is the objective requirement of the sustainable economic development. Human to sustainable survival and development,it has to ensure that the whole society and the harmonious unification of nature, the material wealth as the growing, also want to ensure the sustained use of natural resources and energy. Sustainable development is the inevitable requirement of human society. In this case, as a separate economic unit of every enterprise should walk the road of sustainable development, in order to ensure the realization of the sustainable economic development. Enterprise sustainable development is the assurance of long-term economic benefits. Enterprise only by following the path of sustainable development and rational utilization of all kinds of natural resources and human resources, coordinate internal and external environment, not blind expansion, will be in a long period of time to achieve good economic benefits. Enterprises sustainable development can make whole life extension. Research has shown that a sustainable development strategy of enterprises generally live longer than other companies. Investigate its reason, the path of sustainable development of enterprises in the innovation vigor and vitality, all kinds of resources are not consumed in the short term, hence leading to the long-term development of enterprises.The key factor for the sustainable development of enterprisesEnterprise core competitiveness is an important support for the sustainable development of enterprises. Enterprise core competitive ability is to point to in the design, research and development, production, management, marketing, services in one of two or several links such as much better than competitors and not easily by imitating and to a unique ability to meet customer needs. In terms of its essence, the enterprise core competitive ability is a kind of unique ability beyond the competitors. It is mainly manifested in the following aspects: first, the enterprise core competitive ability is a kind of innovative ability; Second, the enterprise core competitive ability is shown by a unique corporate culture; Third, the enterprise core competitiveness is a continuous learning ability; Fourth, the enterprise core competitive ability is shown by a strong practical ability.The unity of innovation and control is an effective guarantee for the sustainable development of enterprises. Creativity refers to the enterprise in the face of all kindsof market competition and market opportunities, the actual performance inside and outside at the right time of the production and business operation element to the whole and to achieve optimal state, realize the value of additional capacity. Control refers to the state laws and regulations, social ethics, morality and culture, the specification of the enterprises that have an impact on the survival and development of the ability of an orderly and related factors in the desired state .Here related factors including the realistic and potential of various favorable factors and unfavorable factors. Desired state refers to give full play to the advantage of the role of the enterprise, to eliminate or weaken the influence of unfavorable factors to the enterprise effectively. A long with the rapid development of knowledge economy era, innovation has become the drive for the sustainable development of the enterprise. Have high innovative enterprise only in constant innovation activity is likely to achieve the goals of sustainable development. But enterprise's innovation activities should be carried out under effective control, otherwise there will be a short-term behavior, affect the implementation of the strategy of long term and sustainable development. The reason is that in terms of corporate structure, will tell from static arrangement reflects the control of enterprise structure, will tell from dynamic change reflects the innovation of the structure, enterprise structure optimization must pay attention to the unification of innovation ability and control ability; In terms of ability, innovation ability and control ability itself is two important competence, enterprise competence, including core competitive ability get promoted and transformed to surpass the necessary condition to the opponent's real competitive advantage is to insist on the unification of innovation ability and control ability. Therefore, only to realize the unity of innovation and control, the enterprise can achieve the goals of sustainable development.Timely to explore new leading business plays an important role in the sustainable development of the enterprise. Every enterprise has its own main business scope. Within this range, the enterprise continually expand the scale of production, to increase the number of products, improve the level of earnings, meet the needs of the enterprise survival and development. But in different period, due to the environment and article A change will make different industry average profit level of change.

实施绿色会计是实现我国社会经济可持续发展的需要,也是现代企业自身发展的需要。

[关键词]绿色会计;经济发展;可持续发展随着经济的快速发展,环境问题对经济导致的制约促进作用已经受全球广为的高度关注。

如何化解经济与环保的矛盾,推动社会经济的可持续发展,已沦为世界各国共同高度关注的问题。

绿色财务会计就是在此基础上产生并发展出来的财务会计学科的一个关键分支。

一、绿色会计的内涵绿色财务会计(greenaccounting),也表示环境财务会计(environmentalaccounting),就是指用自然资源花费应当如何补偿为中心而进行的财务会计。

它就是会计学和环境学、环境经济学、发展经济学结合的产物。

绿色财务会计就是在修正传统财务会计的基础上产生的,将财务会计和自然环境结合,以货币为主要计量单位,以有关的环境法律、法规为依据研究经济与环境资源之间的关系并对环境及其变化展开证实、计量、公布和分析以便为决策者提供更多环境信息的一种财务会计理论和方法。

绿色财务会计因其将环境因素列入核算范围,因此也具备了一些独有的特征:(1)不确定性。

环境问题具有多样性,在资源利用方面也非常复杂,因此绿色会计就具有很大的不确定性。

(2)周期难以计量。

绿色财务会计牵涉环境因素的经济业务不像是通常的经济业务周期很短、业务较为纯粹,环境经济业务的周期很难计量,并且具备非常大的复杂性。

(3)研究方法多样。

绿色会计不再仅仅涉及经济学与数学的计算,还涉及社会学、环境学等学科。

(4)报告信息多面性。

绿色会计报告既应当阐明财务信息,也应当阐明非财务信息,例如企业的环境目标及继续执行情况,企业对于治理环境所实行的措施等。

Environmental accounting continues to take root as part of the social system. The Guidelines have been revised taking into account developments in environmental accounting at companies and other organizations, with the objective of supporting the introduction and implementation of environmental accounting at companies and other organizations. As much attention as possible is given to items to be taken into consideration in the disclosure of information, so that the environmental accounting data composed and published in accordance with the Guidelines has the highest degree of comparability possible. The Guidelines are also intended to insure that the information disclosed takes into consideration the needs of the various stakeholders. The Guidelines also provide the concepts behind gaining a more detailed ascertainment where necessary of more precise information content, with consideration given to the usefulness of the application of these concepts within the companies and other organizations as well. The objective is to improve the effectiveness of environmental accounting methodology, so that by employing the Guidelines in organizing environmental accounting data, companies and other organizations can monitor their data not only for publication, but also further their objective of internal environmental management. (2) Environmental Accounting Background The number of companies and other organizations solidifying their environmental approach and developing business activities that take the environment into consideration and encompass environmental conservation efforts continues to increase. Efforts made in environmental accounting comprise a part of these environmentally-conscious business activities. Environmental accounting data is not only used by companies or other organizations internally, but is also made public through disclosure in environmental reports. The disclosure of environmental accounting data as one of the key elements in an environmental report enables those parties utilizing this information to get an understanding of the company’s stance on environmental conservation and how it specifically deals with environmental issues. At the same time, a more comprehensive grasp of the companies and other organizations’ environmental information can be obtained.(3) Necessity of Environmental AccountingThe quantitative management of environmental conservation activities is an effective way of achieving and maintaining sound business management. In other words, in carrying out environmental conservation activities, a company or other organizations can accurately identify and measure investments and costs related to environmental conservation activities, and can prepare and analyze this data. By having better insight into the potential benefit of these investments and costs, the company can not only improve the efficiency of its activities, but environmental accounting also plays a very important role in supporting rational decision-making. In addition, companies and other organizations are required to have accountability to stakeholders, such as consumers, business partners, investors, employees, local residents, and administration, when utilizing1environmental resources, i.e. public goods, for their business activities. Disclosure of environmental accounting information is a key process in performing accountability. Consequently, environmental accounting helps companies and other organizations boost their public trust and confidence and are associated with receiving a fair assessment.21. What is Environmental Accounting?1.1 DefinitionEnvironmental accounting, as defined in these guidelines, aims at achieving sustainable development, maintaining a favorable relationship with the community, and pursuing effective and efficient environmental conservation activities. These accounting procedures allow a company to identify the cost of environmental conservation during the normal course of business, identify benefit gained from such activities, provide the best possible means of quantitative measurement (in monetary value or physical units) and support the communication of its results. [Explanation 01] [Explanation 02] Herein, environmental conservation is defined as the prevention, reduction, and/or avoidance of environmental impact, removal of such impact, restoration following the occurrence of a disaster, and other activities. The environmental impacts are the burden on the environment from business operations or other human activities and potential obstacles which may hinder the preservation of a favorable environment.[Explanation 01] Conceptual Framework of Environmental Accounting in the Guidelines The environmental accounting focuses on two areas: national/regional environmental accounting, and environmental accounting for companies and other organizations. These Guidelines cover environmental accounting for companies and other organizations. The environmental accounting covered in the Guidelines is composed of the following factors: environmental conservation cost (monetary value), environmental conservation benefit (physical units), and the economic benefit of environmental conservation activities (monetary value). The data for each of these components is represented in figures or descriptive information. In other words, it is a structure for systematically identifying, measuring, and communicating environmental conservation cost and the economic benefit of environmental conservation measures; this is the financial performance portion of environmental accounting, representing the activities of companies and other organizations in monetary value. The environmental accounting system also identifies, measures, and communicates the environmental conservation benefit, which is the environmental performance portion represented in physical units. The results of environmental accounting can be furthermore used for analysis and evaluation.Identifies cost and benefit of environmental conservation activities, and provides the best possible means of quantitative measurement and supports communicationsEnvironmental conservation cost EnvironmentalFinancial performanceEconomic benefit associated with environmental conservation activitiesaccountingEnvironmental conservation benefitEnvironmental performance3[Explanation 02] Nature of Environmental Accounting Data While the system outlined in the Guidelines provides for quantitative assessment of environmental conservation activities through environmental accounting, qualitative information supporting quantitative data must be included in addition to data in the form of monetary and physical units. The table below lists the quantitative and qualitative information for each component factor. Component factor Environmental conservation cost Environmental conservation benefit Economic benefit associated with environmental conservation activities Quantitative data Monetary value Physical unit Monetary value Qualitative information Cost details Benefit details Benefit detailsIn addition, the major categories forming the bases of environmental accounting and explanations of the aggregated results are classified as qualitative information.1.2 Functions and Roles of Environmental AccountingThe functions of environmental accounting are divided into internal and external functions. (1) Internal Functions As one step of a company’s environmental information system, internal function makes it possible to manage environmental conservation cost and analyze the cost of environmental conservation activities versus the benefit obtained, and promotes effective and efficient environmental conservation activities through suitable decision-making. It is desirable for environmental accounting to function as a business management tool for use by managers and related business units. (2) External Functions By disclosing the quantitatively measured results of its environmental conservation activities, external functions allow a company to influence the decision-making of stakeholders, such as consumers, business partners, investors, local residents, and administration. It is hoped that the publication of environmental accounting results will function both as a means for companies to fulfill their responsibility for accountability to stakeholders and, simultaneously, as a means for appropriate evaluation of environmental conservation activities. Explanation 034Explanation 03Stakeholder ConcernsThe concerns that stakeholders hold regarding the environmental information of companies and other organizations vary according to the stakeholder. Investors, business partners, and financial institutions focus their concerns mainly on corporate value viewed from the perspective of the financial aspects of the company or other organization. Consequently, they are concerned with issues such as effective investment of environmental conservation cost, whether the results of that investment are sufficiently in line with initial plans and are comparable with trends at other companies, and whether latent environmental risk, which can have a serious effect on future corporate value, is being dealt with sufficiently. Stakeholders such as consumers, local residents, and environmental NGOs may be expected to analyze environmental accounting data from the perspective of issues such as the management of hazardous substances, the existence of proactive environmental activities and their results, details about latent environmental impacts and preventative measures, and other social responsibility issues. Investors and financial institutions tend to use general, integrated information as the basis for decision making, and examine detailed information as necessary. Consumers and local residents, on the other hand, are particularly interested in pending issues. Furthermore, while in the past investors took an approach that mainly focused on the financial aspects of a company, recent years have witnessed an expansion in “Socially Responsible Investing” (SRI), and SRI-related areas of interest continue to increase. At the same time, the people within the company, such as managers and employees, are involved in a broad range of financial and environmental aspects. For example, managers can be expected to analyze environmental accounting information from the standpoint of increasing corporate value, which is the basis for comparison with companies in the same business sector, and also for preventing the occurrence of major environmental problems that create a hindrance to improvement of corporate value. Employees are of course concerned with corporate social responsibility and increasing corporate value, but in addition they are concerned about the stable growth of the organizations to which they belong, ensuring their own employment and wage earning, and maintaining environmental safety at their workplace.51.3 Basic Dimensions of Environmental Accounting(1) Relevance Environmental accounting should provide valid information related to a company’s environmental conservation costs and benefits from associated activities which contribute to the decision-making of stakeholders. [Explanation 04][Explanation 04] Relevant to the Goal The goal is to provide information beneficial to stakeholders in their decision-making.a. Materiality and Significance Consideration should be given to the materiality and significance of relevance. [Explanation 05][Explanation 05] Aspects of Materiality and Significance In environmental accounting, materiality is placed on the aspects of quantity and significance is placed on the aspects of quality. From the standpoint of the materiality, consideration is given to the quantitative impact of data that is expressed in monetary value or physical units. The significance focuses on the quality of information from the standpoint of environmental conservation or the future impact that it carries.(2) Reliability Environmental accounting should eliminate seriously inaccurate or biased data and aid in building the trust and reliability of stakeholders. a. Faithful Representation When disclosing environmental accounting data, it should be represented accurately, faithfully. [Explanation 06][Explanation 06] Faithful Representation In addition to the fact that the information must be accurate and without error, it must represent the costs and benefits that could be reasonably expected to represent without misleading.b. Substance Over Form Information disclosure should not just be a mere formality of following steps laid out within these guidelines. When necessary, the company should determine an appropriate method of disclosure which conforms to and accurately describes the actual environmental activities being conducted. [Explanation 07]6[Explanation 07] Prioritizing Substantiality In the event that the substantiality of the information is not fully communicated when following the format set out by these guidelines, necessary supplementary information should be provided to better explain reality.c. Neutrality Information that is disclosed taking a fair and impartial stance. [Explanation 08][Explanation 08] Fair and Impartial Stance A fair and impartial stance is when the company avoids the arbitrary selection of information or intentionally direct readers toward a given conclusion.d. Completeness The scope of environmental accounting should extend to all material and significant information for all environmental conservation activities. e. Prudence Information that may be vague or unclear should be handled carefully and the nature, scope and grounds on which it is based should be made clear. [Explanation 09][Explanation 09] Careful Handling Careful selection is necessary in regard to projected results and predicted comprehensive impact. If these results or impacts are disclosed then the premises and reasoning behind this information should be clearly stated to prevent any misunderstandings by stakeholders.(3) Understandability By achieving understandability of disclosure of necessary environmental accounting data, environmental accounting should eliminate the possibility of any mistaken judgment about the company’s environmental conservation activities. [Explanation 10][Explanation 10] Easy to Comprehend Wording To ensure that the disclosed information is easy to understand for stakeholders, wording should be made a simple as possible. No matter how complex the content might be, it is necessary to disclose all essential information.(4) Comparability Environmental accounting makes it possible for a company to make year-on-year comparisons. Information provided should be comparable with different companies in the same sector. [Explanation 11] 7[Explanation 11] Ensuring Comparability There are two methods for comparison: term, comparison of identical companies or organizations, and comparison between companies in the same business sector. It is essential that comparability be ensured when environmental accounting information is disclosed so as not to create misunderstandings amongst stakeholders. Nevertheless, due to the fact that environmental accounting information spans independent and divergent categories, simple comparisons are difficult when there are differences in the business sector, type of operation, or activities engaged in by the businesses. Therefore, in cases in which complex methods have been selected in order to acquire the information established in the Guidelines for use as bases for comparison, the content of said methods shall be clearly stated, and care shall be taken so as not to produce misunderstandings amongst stakeholders.(5) Verifiability Environmental accounting data should be verifiable from an objective standpoint. [Explanation 12][Explanation 12] Verifiable Information Verifiable information is data for which the same results can be obtained when using premises,standards, and methods identical to those used by the party which created the data.81.4 Structural Elements of Environmental AccountingEnvironmental accounting as defined under these guidelines consists of the following structural elements with the purpose of attaining two types of benefits derived from costs incurred from environmental conservation activities during the regular course of business. (1) Environmental Conservation Cost Investments and expense related to the prevention, reduction, and/or avoidance of environmental impact, removal of such impact, restoration following the occurrence of a disaster, and other activities are measured in monetary value. Investment amounts are expenditures allocated during a target period for the purpose of environmental conservation. The benefits from these investments are seen over several periods and are recorded as expense during the depreciation period (the amount of depreciable assets recorded during the period). Expense amounts refer to the expense or losses recorded under financial accounting standards resulting from the consumption of goods or services for the purpose of environmental conservation.[Explanation 13] Depreciable Assets Depreciable assets are assets that progressively lose value either through use or the passage of time, and which therefore necessitate the allocation of cost. With the exception of land or construction suspense accounts, investment amounts include tangible fixed assets such as buildings, structures, and machinery and equipment, as well as intangibles such as goodwill, patents, software, etc.(2) Environmental Conservation Benefit Benefits obtained from the prevention, reduction, and/or avoidance of environmental impact, removal of such impact, restoration following the occurrence of a disaster, and other activities are measured in physical units. (3) Economic Benefit Associated with Environmental Conservation Activities Benefits to a company’s profit as a result of carrying forward with environmental conservation activities are measured in monetary value.9The environmental conservation cost in the Guidelines is the cost borne by companies and other organizations for environmental conservation (i.e., private cost). They do not include costs borne for health damage or environmental pollution suffered by third parties or society as a whole resulting from the business activities of companies and other organizations (i.e., social cost). [Explanation 14] [Explanation 14] Social Cost There has been much research into the concept of social cost, but generally speaking it can be taken to mean the burden placed upon society as a result of the environmental impact of a specific company or other organization, or of an unspecified entity. Social cost is also referred to as “external cost” or “external diseconomy”. For example, health damage suffered by a third party or damage caused to forests or agriculture due to environmental impact resulting from the business activities of a company or other organization will not result in a direct economic burden for that company or other organization provided that there is no proof of a causal relationship. Nevertheless, society as a whole may be considered to have sustained a loss.102. Basic Environmental Accounting Elements2.1 Key Items Forming Bases of Environmental AccountingEnvironmental accounting is premised upon clarification of the objectives of engaging in environmental accounting. The objectives must conform to policies for environmental considerations made in the business activities of companies and other organizations, and with their environmental targets and environmental action plans. The following items regarding the execution of environmental accounting are defined below: - Target period - Scope of calculations - Environmental conservation cost and standards for measuring environmental conservation cost - Environmental conservation benefit and standards for measuring environmental conservation benefit - Items and standards for measuring the economic benefit associated with environmental conservation activities2.2 Target Period and Scope of Calculations(1) Target Period In principle, the target period covered should be the same as the period covered by the company’s environmental report. Basically, information pertaining to the company’s financial accounting, environmental activities and environmental accounting should all be coordinated to match the said company’s business (fiscal) year. (2) Scope of Calculations In principle, the scope of calculations shall be the same as that for the company’s environmental report. Basically, it must cover the business group. Nevertheless, if problems arise as a result of performing calculations for the business group as a while, calculations shall be performed within a range covering the entire company and its business sites, with sequential calculations conforming to the actual operations of the company or other organization being desirable. a. Business Group The group as a whole is to be covered, including subsidiaries and related companies (henceforth, “related companies”). The business activities of a company or other organization include not only the standalone operations. It is necessary to perform environmental accounting calculations of the environmental conservation activities and environmental impact of the relevant company or other organization when, for example, said company or other organization transfers production operations to a related company. [Explanation 15] [Explanation 58]11[Explanation 15] Scope of Related Companies The definition of related companies forming a business group is the same1 as that for subsidiaries and related companies listed in a consolidated financial statement. The actual scope of consolidation shall be established to correspond to importance in terms of environmental conservation.b. Companywide Information pertaining to financial accounting, environmental conservation activities, and environmental accounting should be coordinated to use identical reporting units for the entire company. c. Business Site “Business sites” refers to individual business sites. By employing environmental accounting at one of its individual business sites, the company can obtain information that can facilitate effective and efficient environmental conservation activities aimed at resolving the local community’s environmental issues. In addition, the disclosure of results can aid in promoting communications between the company and the local community, which is a major stakeholder.1Please refer to “Scope of consolidation, Third General Standards” in “General Rules for Consolidated Financial Statements / Notes” (Business Accounting Council, Final Revision, June 1996) and “Handling of Revisions Concerning the Scope of Related Companies” (Business Accounting Council, October 1997). 12。

毕业设计附件外文文献翻译:原文+译文文献出处: Markus S. Green accounting theory and sustainable development [J]. Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2016, 2(1): 29-46.原文Green accounting theory and sustainable developmentMarkus SAbstractGreen accounting, also known as environmental accounting, combining accounting and natural environment, the diversity of measurement methods and properties, on the basis of relevant environmental laws and regulations, and examined the relationship between economic development and environmental resources, and using the method of special, cause social resources and environment of the enterprise profit and loss revealed, recognition, measurement and analysis, in order to provide the environmental information of accounting theory and methods. The basic theories of green accounting are in the correction and criticism of the traditional accounting theory on the basis of the emergence and development. For a long time, the traditional accounting theory from the Angle of human economic activities, only reflect and supervision enterprise capital and its movement, according to the accrual basis, the historical cost and double-entry these three basic pillar of the economic accounting matters for accounting recognition, measurement, recording and reporting, caused by the environment of economic problems in this is not the answer. Green accounting for all the human activities and the whole ecological environment resources as the starting point, around how to compensate the cost of natural resources, efforts to fulfill the duties of the environmental management in all levels make the recognition, measurement and reporting, fundamentally changed the traditional accounting theory for the definition of accounting elements. Keywords: sustainable development; Green accounting; the basic theory1 IntroductionHuman industrial activities along with the rapid development of economic growth, people's living standard had the very significantly improved. But at the same time, the human scale of thedestruction of the earth's resources is also unprecedented. Due to the excessive open the calculation of environmental resources, ecological environment suffered serious damage, has appeared to make ends meet. Can say, is to rely on human to overdraw the future development. And, the environment problem has become a global problem, breakthrough the limitation of the country and region. The protection of environment, governance, the effective use of resources has become a global consensus. The emerging topic of green accounting is on the premise of this. Green accounting object of study is the content of environmental accounting in the accounting and supervision, is the enterprise production activities and environmental resources between consumption and supply process. Traditional accounting object itself contains only the enterprise production activities, capital contains only into three parts, operation and exit enterprises. Green accounting on the basis of the traditional accounting, increase the content of the environmental resources, the consumption and compensation of the natural environment of the enterprise up objectively reflect the role of, make its production activities impact on the environment are subject to supervision by the society and the country, so as to realize the virtuous circle of natural resource consumption and complement, make environment don't have to pay for economic growth, ultimately achieve sustainable development.2 Literature reviewIn the 1980 s, the western developed countries first proposed the term "sustainable development".1992, held in environment and development conference in governments and international institutions generally achieved consensus, recognized and accepted this view. These cases show that the theory has validity, universality, and urgent need. Sustainable development in macroscopic Angle of human survival and development, the protection of the environment and resources, and the logic of the dialectical relationship between economic activities, is the research content of macroeconomics in the aspect of environmental problems. Its role is to the coordinated development of the economic growth and environmental policies are discussed. The theory is the overall goal of the green accounting system and the basis, is a green accounting system began to expand and build theoretical basis. The starting point of green accounting, as well as the ultimate goal is to promote the sustainable development of economy and environment; this determines the starting point of the green accounting research and belonging. Sustainable development theory is the most important theoretical basis for green accounting; green accounting is one of the importantmeasures to promote the sustainable development, both in full accord. The implementation of sustainable development, the realization of the essence of which is environmental management; And environmental management responsibility, is held by government agencies. The implementation of environmental management responsibility, to identify by the independent audit department. Thus, as a social control mechanism of the green accounting is a top-down bear the responsibility of environmental protection and management, is also an important way of implementing sustainable development strategy.The connotation of sustainable development has two aspects: development and continuous. Development is the fundamental premise and foundation, only development, only necessary to discuss sustainability. Persistence is the key, there is no continuity, and it could have been. Development includes the following two aspects: first, the development is the accumulation of human material civilization, it directly reflects on the economic growth. Second, development is a national economic and social system construction of course, the ultimate goal is to increase the interests of all, is looking for social progress. Continuous meaning also contains two aspects: the first is that environmental resources storage and carrying capacity is limited. Because of the limitation, conflicts with the necessity of economically, have become the restriction conditions of economic development. Second, shouldn't overdraw the future economic development, considering their own interests at the same time, also for future generations to develop interests do consider. Sustainable development includes the resources and environment and the sustainable development of ecological planning, the sustainable development of the economic activities of production and social cultural sustainable development of three parts, is a long-term development strategy. You need to first on the basis of the sustainable use of resources and ecological environment, achieve economic production activities under the premise of sustainable development. Finally, the sustainable development center problem is, the ultimate goal is to seek the overall progress of society. Sustainable development strategy to achieve the ecological balance, the unification of the economic production and social development benefits, the extensive economic growth mode to intensive changes, keep the economic development and environment in harmony. Is beneficial to improve the level of people's whole life, promote the new industrialization, the adjustment of agricultural structure and the protection of the ecological environment, finally realizes the fast, stable, sustainable and healthy development of nationaleconomy.3 The basic theory of green accountingGreen accounting is the environment, environmental economics and development economics, the product of the combination of accounting. Green accounting theory problem should be to look at environmental issues stand in the perspective of accounting, with the thought of the accounting system and method system to think and analyze, in order to solve the contradiction between economic development and maintaining ecological environment. As a branch of modern accounting, green accounting should establish a goal, the basic theory of structural system composed of assumptions and principles.3.1 Green accounting targetAs the goal of green accounting behavior guidelines can be divided into two levels. One is the basic goal. Use accounting to measuring, reflect and control the social environment resources, improving social environment and resource problems, achieve economic benefit, ecological benefit and social benefit of synchronous optimization. Based on the requirements of environmental macro management, the enterprise in the production and business operation and obtain economic benefits at the same time, must attach great importance to the ecological environment and material circulation rule, reasonable development and utilization of natural resources, insist on sustainable development strategy, try to improve the environmental benefit and social benefit. Second, the specific objectives. For the corresponding accounting, the value of natural resources, the cost of natural resources, environmental protection, improve resource environment recognition and measurement, the benefits of environmental protection for the government departments and the competent department of industry, investors and social public enterprise environmental objectives, environmental policy and planning and other relevant information. Provide related object with the ultimate goal of environmental accounting information is control and coordinate the relationship between economic benefit and environmental resources, realize the environmental benefits, social benefits and economic benefits of synchronous optimization, to achieve economic development, social progress and environmental protection harmonious and unified.3.2 The basic hypothesis of green accountingThe sustainable development of assumptions. Hypothesis refers to the sustainabledevelopment of green accounting to accounting subject in natural resource depletion, ecological resources do not drop, on the basis of guarantee the social and economic sustainable development. Sustainable development contains a large amount for the contents of the ecological environment; the request must be coordinated development of economy and environment. Although the green accounting in the accounting entity's economic activities, there is a lot of uncertainty but accounting and supervision procedures and methods should be based on the sustainable development. Sustainable development is to establish the basic premise of green accounting, is the basis of constructing green accounting theory and method system conditions.Environmental value assumptions. In Marx's labor theory of value, only for the exchange of labor value. Only use environmental resources value, there is no exchange of value and price, do not belong to the scope of the traditional accounting, but must carry on the green accounting must first admit that environmental resources are valuable, although it does not apply to the labor theory of value, is applicable to the marginal value theory. Multiple measurement assumptions. Because of the complexity of the environmental factors and vagueness of the green benefit, if the only unit of measurement for money, will not be able to objectively reflect the environmental condition of the accounting entity and green benefit, therefore green accounting on the measurement should be multiple. Should be given priority by money value, supplemented by physical, percentage, or index, etc., sometimes even can use the graph and text notes, and should adopt combination of quantitative and qualitative, accuracy and fuzziness of compatible measurement method.4 The basic principles of green accounting4.1 Social principlesSocial principle refers to the green accounting requires enterprises must stand in the perspective of society, to stand in the Angle of the responsible for the environment and resources, consider the interests of the enterprise. For the evaluation of enterprises have to abandon a purely on the basis of enterprise operating profit idea, to enterprise profit created by green. At the same time, the enterprise to provide accounting information must also be conducive to the management and the macro control of the country.4.2 Principle of both economic and environmental benefitsGreen accounting should not only consider the economic interests of the enterprise itself, and should take the social ecological and environmental benefits, to comprehensively reflect andcontrol the enterprise's economic efficiency, resources and environment, waste and the ecological environment, the accounting main body in ecological environment, the whole social production, consumption and the corresponding ecological cycle are reflected in the accounting mode, the comprehensive measurement and reveal the enterprise production activities to the consequences of the ecological environment to the society, in order to standardize enterprise behavior, realize the sustainable development of economy.4.3 Principle of mandatory disclosure and voluntary disclosureIn green accounting system, the relevant government department or organization to deal with enterprise minimum levels of environmental resources, the mandatory provisions of the disclosure of information to make clear, at the same time, encourage enterprises to consciously to the public and the government related department or group provides environmental resources information as much as possible.译文绿色会计理论与可持续发展Markus S摘要绿色会计,又称环境会计,是将会计学和自然环境相结合,采用多元化的计量手段和属性,以有关环境法律、法规为依据,研究经济发展与环境资源之间关系,并运用专门的方法,对企业给社会资源环境造成的收益和损失进行确认、计量、揭示、分析,以便为决策者提供环境信息的会计理论和方法。
