Cengage Learning An Introduction to Accounting: Accountability in Organisatio

Written by one of ANZ's premier sustainability and social accounting academics, An Introduction to Accounting: Accountability in Organisations and Society brings today's hot accounting topics of corporate accountability, sustainability and social responsibility to life with the only complete textbook created from the ground up for these modern accounting teaching and learning needs. An Introduction to Accounting: Accountability in Organisations and Society takes a unique approach in embracing the notion of accountability from the start ' the structure, content and learning activities provide students with an understanding of Accounting's pervasive and transformative role as a social practice and organisational driver. It shows that environments, ideas and values change; that the world is interconnected; that the planet is a key resource; and that people are affected/influenced by the information they receive and the way it is presented. It is emphasised that Accounting and accountability are key aspects of every person's life and that the practice of Accounting, whilst often being seen as very technical in nature, has very many social implications.
