The human resource may be seen as the most fundamental of all available resources to an economy or an organization. Human resources are energies, skills, talents and knowledge of people that are or can be potentially applied to the production of goods and services. Corporations cannot run by machines or systems alone, however smart those may be. The human element in it is inevitable, even for knowledge based lean organizations of the 21st century. It is an irony that valuation of this important asset is not reflected in the books of accounts. However to enhance goodwill and attract investors, need is being felt for human resource accounting. In our present paper, an attempt has been made to do the comparative study of the human resource accounting practices of CCI, HPCL, Infosys and Rolta India Limited. The variables that are important for the purpose of human resource accounting are identified and by analyzing, the annual reports of these selected companies scores are assigned to the organizations and mean scores for these organizations were calculated. Ranks to the organizations are also given based upon the extent of the HRA information reported in their annual reports.

This paper is a theoretical discourse and review on human resource accounting which remains an issue both for research and in practice. The library-based research design was used in this study. It is an established fact that the human resource is an integral component of every business and constitutes a key intangible asset for companies. However, unlike other assets, human resource does not conform to the peculiar patterns of conventional accounting assets in a strict sense and hence cannot be treated as such. Research efforts and models such as the replacement cost, opportunity cost, present value of discounted future earnings, etc have evolved overtime to try to properly capture, measure and report human resource and each model has its own weakness that makes it daunting for human resource to be fully amenable to the postulations of the models. Many researchers have thus shifted to issues of human resource disclosures in annual reports which basically concerns itself to what is disclosed about human resources such as training, welfare, compensation packages amongst others. This again does not provide much insight to the core issue of human resource accounting which involves cost to recruit, select, hire, train, compensate and develop human assets on one hand and calculating the economic value of people to the organization on the other. The study concludes that there is need for more robust research efforts and quantification methodologies for human resource accounting and the role of financial reporting standards will be crucial in helping to achieve some sort of consensus in moving forward on this issue of human resource accounting.

The study investigates whether a significant relationship exists between corporate determinants and human resource accounting disclosure of selected banks in Nigeria. It also looks at whether human resource accounting disclosure is influenced by banks profitability, firm size and listing age. Data were obtained from the annual reports and corporate websites of the selected banks for the periods between 2014 and 2018. In testing the research hypotheses, the study engaged the use of panel least square regression in analysing the data. The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between profitability, firm size and human resource accounting disclosure. However, listing age exhibited no relationship with human resource accounting disclosure. The study recommends that listed banks in Nigeria should be encouraged to mandatorily disclose human resource accounting information so as to enhance their social reputation and reduce the potential agency costs. Also, the study contributes to the existing models, in terms of depicting specific attributes that measure the determinants of human resource accounting disclosure of listed banks in Nigeria.

Human Resource is the most critical, very significant assets in any business organizations but it is not incorporated in the statement of financial position. The study examined the factors that have accounted for the exclusion of Human Resources Accounting in the statement of financial position of companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange. The paper also ascertained the relationship between human resource Accounting and firms performance. The study used both primary and secondary data. A regression model was used to ascertain the effects of Human Resource Accounting on a firm's performance. The study used secondary data from a published annual financial statement of all the listed companies on the Ghana Stock Exchange on the period of 2015-2018. The findings revealed that, the exclusion of human resources in the statement of financial position is due to these key obstacles such as: there is no proper clear-cut and specific guidelines for measuring costs and value of human resources; the period of existence of Human Resource is uncertain; there is no universally accepted method of valuation of human resources; no active market for human resource and the financial position of the business may be misleading. Despite the difficulties for the inclusion of HR into financial statement, it is worthy to note from the findings that, human resources contributes positively to a firm’s financial growth as evidenced by the positive effect on Return on Equity (ROE). Therefore, the paper recommends that the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) should consult prime actors and professionals in the accounting field to debate on the arguments against and considerations for human resource inclusion in the Statement of Financial Position
