Environmental Accounting


Environmental accounting adds environmental information to the financial information of conventional accounting. Environmental accounting identifies, measures, and communicates the costs to the environment from a company's past or future actions. Ecological impacts can be recorded in financial terms or in physical terms, dependent upon the method of accounting used.
