Routledge Studies in Accounting

Despite the progress made so far, the links between environmental, social and governance (ESG) sustainability pillars remain underexplored, particularly in the context of firms investing in hydrogen for decarbonization. In essence, hydrogen is a lynchpin connecting engineering ingenuity, economic viability, and strategic business decisions. Its multifaceted role underscores its significance in addressing contemporary challenges, driving innovation, and shaping a sustainable future through the accounting system.This book unravels the complexities of carbon control practices, offering insights into financial, operational, and sustainable dimensions. From the challenges of sustainability transitions and technology adoption to utilize renewable resources and disclosing decarbonization practices, the book explores the critical role of accounting tools and international regulatory frameworks like the United Nations 2030 Agenda, the European Union Green Deal, and Paris Agreement as organizational collective responsibility in shaping a sustainable future.By incorporating stakeholder, stewardship, legitimacy, institutional, resource dependency theories, the book bridges gaps in academic research and offers a fresh perspective on decarbonization in the hydrogen sector. The qualitative methodology provides a unified vision from strategies to implementation, guiding companies toward the contribution of the carbon neutrality goal in the hydrogen economy while ensuring accountability for their actions, conduct, and sustainability reporting.

Accounting for Carbon Neutrality

Routledge New Works in Accounting History

The financial information provided to governments, creditors, investors etc. by businesses has been verified by auditors since ancient times. In its modern form, the independent public accounting profession has its roots in 19th century Scotland. A distinctive feature of this profession is that it consists of private for-profit businesses - operating as sole practitioners, partnerships, but mostly as large accounting firms. The question naturally arises - why should users of financial information provided by private for-profit firms place trust in the verification of that information by other private for-profit firms? This is the interesting and complex economic issue that underlies research in what has come to be called 'the economics of auditing'. The author is one of the first researchers in this area. This book traces the development of this important stream of research that applies economic analysis to the study of financial statement audits by professional public accounting firms. It offers a narrative commentary, along with a series of previously unpublished papers that the author presented during the 1970's, at Accounting Research workshops at the University of Chicago, as part of his dissertation research, that ultimately led to one of the bedrock papers in the field. It provides an explanation and discussion of the economic, regulatory, and research environment at that time. The book concludes with a discussion of important but currently "unanswered questions" in the field that flow from the author's thesis research but remain unresolved. It will be of significant interest to advanced students and academics who are engaged in developing their own research programs, as well as to any researcher who is working in the area of the 'economics of auditing'.

Practices of tracking and tracing have a long history, yet they are expanding in scale and scope in the digital age with important consequences for the accounts which shape our organizational and everyday lives. At a time when the benefits of traceability for assuring quality, maintaining security, and supporting knowledge-creation must be balanced with needs for privacy and accountability, Economy of Traces delivers an analysis of the implications of traceability for the many accounts we live by. Issues about why we trace, what we trace, and how we trace have become critical, and the book draws upon thinking in accounting, philosophy, and sociology to understand the different facets of traceability, including connectivity, organization, governance, risk, personhood, and knowledge generation. Through these themes, the book locates a key tension at the heart of our digital economy of traces; namely, that the more we are technically able to produce and track traces of human behaviour, the more fragile the traditional organizational forms of human oversight and accountability become. Economy of Traces develops a traceological theory of accounting to understand this tension and how tracking and oversight, while intertwined, are changing their mix in the digital age. In particular, audit trails which have traditionally underpinned human capacities for observation and governance, are being displaced and de-centered. Economy of Traces avoids both wholesale humanist critique of digital technologies on the one hand and uncritical celebration of their augmenting power on the other, in order to understand and theorize the dynamics of change in the organization of traceability and accounts production.

Traceability, Tracking, and the Accounts We Live By

Corporate Capital Structure in Europe

Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking

This book examines the role of strategic risk management (SRM) in the transformation of banks and their customers towards more sustainable business practices. Banks play a particularly important role in this transformation because they have been tasked with redirecting capital flows to sustainable investments.This book has two inter-related aims: to provide the reader with an analysis of the challenges associated with implementing strategic risk management as discussed in the existing literature, as well as to conduct an empirical investigation into SRM implementation in a large European bank headquartered in the Nordic region. The book consists of seven chapters. Chapters 1-3 introduce the main concepts, research questions, and theoretical framework. Chapters 4-6 describe the integration challenges associated with SRM in an empirical context, that is, Nordbank. Finally, Chapter 7 presents key insights and avenues for future research.The book will benefit readers in a variety of ways, including providing an overview of the existing literature, the latest developments in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulation, and in-depth empirical insights into an organisation and its management who are currently implementing SRM as part of their sustainable transformation. It is intended for scholars and students in the business and management disciplines, as well as the sub-fields of accounting, finance, and strategic management.
