Rezensionen
"Accounting for Sustainability is an excellent contribution for education, offering a wide-ranging textbook reflecting the major ideas and theoretical aspects of the current sustainability agenda from an accounting perspective. This is a very useful book for students as well as practitioners." - Charles H. Cho, Professor of Accounting, Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto, Canada; CSEAR Executive Council & Chair of the CSEAR International Associates Committee

"As the world faces growing challenges around climate change, deforestation, habitat loss and a whole range of anthropogenic threats to people and planet, Accounting for Sustainability becomes ever more relevant and important. This book is a welcome addition to the sustainability literature, neatly summarising theory and practice from internal, management accounting for sustainability, to external sustainability reporting and integrated reporting, and their relationship with financial markets. An excellent read for students at all levels and practitioners." -- Jill Atkins, Chair in Financial Management, Sheffield University Management School, University of Sheffield, UK; Chair BAFA SIG Corporate Governance

"At a time when stakeholder reporting and non-financial disclosures are a must for corporate reporting, this book is a much-needed support not only for academics who are teaching sustainability reporting modules, but also for practitioners who would like to get a clear overview of the sustainability reporting landscape. It conveniently connects theory and practice, without losing rigour. The four parts into which the book is divided provide an interesting perspective from inside companies to external reporting to stakeholders." -- Begoña Giner, Facultad d´Economia, Universitat de Valencia, Spain; Chair EAA Stakeholder Reporting Committee
