Description: The accounting profession, especially in the US, has lost credibility and this has serious implications for environmental reporting. As a number of papers in this volume attest, the amount of environmental reporting has increased in the period from the 1980s-mid 1990s. However, the value of those disclosures is open to serious question. The research for most of the papers in this volume was completed prior to the Enron scandal, but the findings indicate a need to re-evaluate what is reported about the firm's relationship to the physical environment. Since the publication of the first volume in this series in 2000, there have been advances and retreats in both the physical environment and in accounting's role in contributing to the planet's survival. With many nations signing the Kyoto Protocol and with certain business acknowledging the necessity to alter their production processes to reduce and eliminate pollution an element of progress has occurred. This volume should be of interest to people concerned with environmental information.
