Environmental management accounting (EMA), as part of environmental accounting, may assist managements to assess environmental impacts of organizations’ activities, particularly by providing environmental information for making decision. However, in Vietnam, the implementation of EMA is affected not only by pressure (coercive and/or normative) factors such as Government pollution standards, membership of VAMA etc but also by benefit and barriers when implementing EMA. This study found that in Vietnamese automobile enterprises, the possibility of EMA implementation was driven by some elements such as a motivation to reduce product costs, reactions to environmental issues, compliance to legislation, procedures and processes in the working environment which they are in business.

Environmental Management Accounting

Living with carrying capacity of natural resources of the Earth and keeping and improving the quality of human life are the most important environmental issues that we face today. Implementation of numerous arrangements to decrease the negative effects of industrialization have become a serious current issue. These regulations aim to push responsibility to the firms for the wellbeing of the public. Accounting, which is the language of business in numbers, needs to complete the adoption to the new situation for producing environmentally related information. Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is needed as an application of accounting that is concerned with the environmentally induced impacts of companies, measured in monetary units or in physical units. In this chapter, the emergence of environmental information is discussed, and it is followed by definition and framework of environmental accounting, environmental costs, and EMA. In addition, the new environmental issues, especially in international financial reporting standards, are presented.

The Impact

Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is an extension to the traditional management accounting that helps the managers to identify environmental costs and realize the impact of their operation towards the environment. The adoption of this practice is critical in order to address environmental issues. However, as most of the practice of EMA is underutilized and diverse, further promotion is needed if it is to help the business to move towards sustainability. Surprisingly, even those firms which are regarded as being more environmentally-sensitive are not necessarily to use environmental management accounting. This has led to the literature gap pertaining factors that influence firms to apply environmental accounting. Therefore, this research is interested in extending the focus of EMA adoption in environmentally sensitive industries and understands the factors influencing them. Based on Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) perspective, this study attempts to look at how accountants perceived EMA and how this may affect the adoption of the system. By utilising a survey, questionnaires were mailed to the accountants of public listed companies in Malaysia. Six attributes namely the cost, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, compatibility and trialabilty are tested in this paper to determine the motivations of EMA adoption. The findings of the study are expected to explain the conditions that facilitate the implementation of the practice and help to provide ways to increase the adoption rate among companies.

This paper investigates the relationship between environmental management accounting (EMA) and environmental performance in the Malaysian small-medium (SMEs) sized manufacturing sector. The issue of environmental have affected many businesses regardless of the types and sizes of organisation. Ferreira et.al. (2010) argue that the use of EMA technique is not driven by the size of a company, but by the type of industry it relates to. EMA practices involve the tracking, tracing and treatment of costs, earnings and savings incurred in relation to the company’s environmental-related activities Burrit et. al. (2002),. Environmental accounting is still new in Malaysia and the managers and accountants are lack of knowledge in this matter (Jusoh et al., 2018), therefore it is need more empirical evidence on EMA practices especially in developing countries, such as Malaysia. Thus, this study is important to explain the current practice of EMA in SMEs and its influence on environmental performance.   The results reveal that the physical EMA has the highest mean compared to monetary EMA. The results show that the level of EMA practices are not at an encouraging level. The regression results indicate that both types of EMA practices (monetary and physical) have a positive significant effect on environmental performance.

Environmental Management Accounting

Environmental management accounting is a very important source of information for decision-making management of the company. In many companies there were created a detailed and dynamic system of recording and processing of data on environmental costs that companies mistakenly issued for environmental management accounting. And also today for environmental accounting in the CR it is characteristic that in organizations is not normal monitoring of the environmental costs con­si­de­red as part of an integrated system for monitoring and evaluation of material, energy and financial flows. Companies do not use a wide range of options that the environmental management accounting provides. Why do not companies introduce environmental management accounting into its information system and do not use all the opportunities that EMA provides? In practice there are many barriers that prevent full-fledged process of implementation of environmental management accounting in the information system of companies. Many barriers were identified and were therefore subjected to cluster analysis. Clusters filled by identified barriers under the rules of cluster analysis are the result of cluster analysis.
