How an organisation defines its reporting boundaries, reveals much about what is actually valued in its business model. This concise book reviews the guidelines and frameworks from the major relevant international organisations: the IASB, GRI, SASB, IIRC, Carbon Disclosure Standards Board, and the World Intellectual Capital Initiative, and analyses their role in developing the boundaries of financial and non-financial reporting. It makes a significant contribution to the future of reporting theory and practice and will be of interest to advanced students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

The boundaries that are set in all forms of corporate reporting not only demark the scope of information provided but represent the conjunction of accounting, economic concepts. Boundaries in reporting are concomitant with the boundaries of professional accountant, statutory auditors and assurance providers. As part of the neo-liberal narrative the boundary signifies the limits of the entity's responsibilities and the externalities left for governments and societies to deal with. In this insightful and though-provoking study, Dr Girella challenges the boundaries we imagine to exist in reporting and demonstrates that they are increasingly being redrawn and becoming more permeable.
