This book deals with the limitations of economic and financial accounting as an appropriate instrument to reflect the real value created or destroyed by an organization. The authors present a sustainable social accounting approach that considers both the social and economic value – Blended Value – generated by an organization for all of its stakeholders. This approach is based on four major theories – Stakeholder Theory, Action Research, Phenomenological Perspective and Fuzzy Logic – and was developed on the basis of a cost-benefit analysis.

This book is a practical guide to the use of social accounting and audit in corporate management. It explains the principles and techniques of social accounting, and demonstrates how it can be used to measure and report on a company's social and environmental performance. With case studies and examples, it provides a roadmap for companies seeking to integrate social responsibility into their operations.
