Outline and objectives

The main objective of this course is to theoretically and practically understand the new trends in accounting: accounting for sustainability and social impact. After taking this course, students will gain relevant knowledge about accounting for corporate sustainability and social impact. More specifically, students can learn the basics of how to recognize, measure, and report corporate sustainability and social impact.

Goal

This course consists of accounting for sustainability and social impact, both of which have recently gained prominence in corporations and attracted stakeholders' attention. By taking this course, students can understand theories and academic findings regarding accounting for sustainability and social impact. Moreover, students can discuss practical topics such as specific institutions (some frameworks to calculate sustainability and social impact) and real leading companies' practices.
