The idea of social and environmental responsibility in accounting is partly due to an increased tendency to question the established order of society as well as a growing concern with the deterioration of the environment. It is a contention of many experts that social and environmental accounting education can provide the solution to the ethical issues that already beset the profession. This book deals with the claims of deficiencies that have been levelled at the current accounting education in addressing pressing issues of ethics and professionalism. It explores the prospect of including social and environmental accounting in Malaysia’s tertiary accounting education. As such, this book could be an indispensible reference not only for the scholars working on developing social and environmental accounting education in the accounting curriculum but also for those seeking to understand social and environmental accounting.
