Accounting for Social Value
Edited by Laurie Mook
Accounting for Social Value offers academics, accountants, policy-developers, and members of nonprofit, co-operative, and for-profit organizations tools and insights to explore the connections between economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
When organizations use social accounting practices, they are able to measure their performance in terms of benefits accrued to key stakeholders such as their communities, human resources, and those investing in the organization. This innovative change in accounting can lead to a fundamentally different perspective on the value of an organization.
