Summary The underlying theme of Accounting and Accountability remains the role of corporate social and environmental reporting in meeting the demands for greater corporate social responsibility and accountability. However, transformations in the social climate coupled with developments in critical accounting theory have necessitated a substantial change in content. In advocating corporate social reporting as a practical and ethical alternative to conventional accounting practice, the text presents a stimulating and candid perspective on the changes and challenges within. Accounting and Accountability is written for practitioners, academics, researchers and students of financial accounting and reporting, accounting theory and accounting ethics
