Social and environmental accounting in Tasmania - taking it to the world
by Kathy Gibson, Gary O'Donovan
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 6, No. 2, 2004

Abstract: This paper commences with an overview of the history of social and environmental reporting and accounting followed by a summary of the prevalence of social and environmental accounting education. This leads to the main section of the paper, which includes a detailed discussion and evaluation of an undergraduate coursework subject in Social and Environmental Accounting. Developed by the School of Accounting and Finance at the University of Tasmania, originally for a multidisciplinary undergraduate degree in Natural Environments and Wilderness, the subject is available to all students who have completed first year undergraduate studies in any discipline. The subject is largely designed around a Tasmanian mining industry case study, which students use as a basis for exploring local issues in Tasmania's west coast, and how they affect, and are affected by, global markets and global politics. Developed to be delivered flexibly and freed from the constraints of face-to-face teaching, the teaching and learning pedagogy of this subject makes it accessible and available to any student, anywhere in the world at any time.
