Popular Subject

In the last decades, the concept of sustainable development has been a popular subject in academic researches and the business community. To be considered as a sustainable business, becoming an environmentally friendly organization is critical. Environmental management accounting is an important tool to help enterprises to reach this goal. However, the application of environmental management accounting in Vietnam is still low in comparison to its role. The paper uses a case-study method that chooses a tire manufacturing company in central Vietnam to identify environmental cost, apply material flow accounting cost, and build criteria for environmental performance evaluation. The suggestion for the improvement of environmental management accounting implementation in Vietnam is also discussed. This study hopes to contribute to the popularization of environmental management accounting in the Vietnam business community.

ABSTRACTThe impact of a company's production activities can cause various environmental problems that are detrimental to various parties. This is a social burden, which must be taken seriously. Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is a concept that helps companies in loading business impacts in the form of monetary units. The application of Environmental Management Accounting helps companies with environmental problems by recording all of their production activities to be reported in the company's environmental cost report. This research is a case study research in manufacturing companies, namely PG.PRADJEKAN. This study aims to evaluate the application of Environmental Management Accounting PG.PRADJEKAN. From the results of research on PGADJEKAN, it is known that the company has not fully implemented Environmental Management Accounting. Especially for accountant staff who do not understand about Environmental Management Accounting should be given a study of Environmental Management Accounting. From the implementation of Environmental Management Accounting in 2011 until now the company has a good waste management system so as to minimize environmental pollution caused by production activities in the milling season. From the evaluation results in this study it can be seen that the company's accountants play a full role in the application of Environmental Management Accounting, but accountants need to conduct further environmental studies to understand their application, because the application of Environmental Management Accounting in PG.PRADJEKAN has only been running for four years.Keywords: Evaluation, Application of Environmental Management Accounting, Environmental Costs

Environmental Management Accounting

The emergence of contemporary business environment and technologies, customer driven business perspective, and transparent and accountable business practices have led different stakeholders to demand information in relation to the management of the environment. Consequently, organizations tend to develop their strategies in line with achieving these financial and environmental performances. The apparel industry is one of the significant contributors in the Sri Lankan economy and it can be seen that Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is often practiced in this industry. However, it is a matter of consideration for the real reason behind the adoption and implementation of Environmental Management Accounting Practices (EMAPs) in this industry. Accordingly, this study is focused on identifying the actual factors that have influenced a manufacturer in the apparel industry in Sri Lanka to adopt and implement EMAPs with the perspective of the New Institutional Sociology Theory. This study takes a case study approach. Therefore, one of the leading manufacturing companies in the apparel industry was selected as the case company. The primary data were collected through a semi-structured interview and questionnaire survey. The validity of findings was assessed through data triangulation. It was identified that the environmental cost accounting, environmentally induced capital expenditure and revenue are the mostly used EMAPs whereas the payback period method is often applied in the organization for investment appraisal activities. In terms of factors that have influenced to adopt and implement EMAPs through the Institutional Theoretical Perspective, it was found that coercive isomorphism was the most significant factor whereas the least influential factor was the normative isomorphism on the adoption and the implementation of the EMAPs in the organization. In terms of coercive isomorphism, the government regulations are the most influential force on this adoption and the implementation. Further, the study found some reasons behind the adoption of more Physical EMAPs (PEMAPs) than the Monetary EMAPs (MEMAPs) by the organization. The study contributes to minimize the gap by revealing the types of EMAPs that have been adopted and implemented and revealing the actual factors that have led to adopt and implement those practices in a manufacturer of the apparel industry.

The overall objective of the paper is to assess the application of environmental management accounting (EMA) at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) as a service organization and examine how the institution manages, account and report environmental cost. Data was collected by means of exploratory and explanatory research techniques using two data sets; documentary and fourteen in-depth individual face-to-face interviews employing a semi-structured questionnaire with closed and open ended questions to collect primary data. The results indicate that; the implementation of EMA and general governance for environmental responsibility and accountability is extremely weak. The potential use of EMA is neglected and, as such, EMA implementation is not considered a priority. Three barriers to the adoption of EMA within TUT were identified as: institutional pressures, a low profile of accounting for the environment, and management’s attitudes. A general ledger model and action plan for the implementation of EMA at TUT utilizing the use of activity based costing has been suggested.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the perception of management on the benefits of adopting an environmental management accounting (EMA) system as a waste management tool in a paper and pulp manufacturing company. This paper highlights the benefits of an EMA system and the role and importance of EMA as a decision-making tool in encouraging the adoption of cleaner production (CP) techniques and technologies. This research was based on a case study of a paper and pulp manufacturing company in KwaZulu-Natal. This research was both quantitative and qualitative in nature. Data collection instruments for the study included a Likert-type questionnaire and interviews with the environmental manager and cost accountant but the findings reported in this paper are based on the empirical evidence gathered from the questionnaire which identified that there was positive correlation between environmental performance and CP techniques and technologies. Environmental costs were hidden under general overheads and understated because the company was using a conventional costing system and not an EMA system; hence, environmental costs were not traced back to the products or processes responsible for those costs. It was evident from the qualitative data analysis that management regarded their environmental costs as too insignificant to justify implementation of an EMA system. The consequent reluctance of the company to adopt CP resulted in poor waste management and lower-quality environmental performance.
