Understanding Social Accounting Based on Evidence

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the use of social accounting, supported by practice theory, and its contribution to social accounting theory. It is possible for stakeholder accounting to be carried out by various companies. It has been analyzed by multiple case studies, and the results will enable us to help the general public understand the social values that companies generate for society and the resulting impact on stakeholder, and therefore social well-being. The results of the analyses will provide companies with feedback on their social impact, which will help them to become more efficient. This study defines a framework that might guide the social value and nonfinancial information of organizations. Social accounting is seen as an accounting system based on accepted accounting principles, seeking to emphasize the notion of corporate accountability. From the analysis of more than 90 cases, we conclude that there is a possibility of systematically introducing stakeholder accounting or recalled socioemotional accounting (SĒA) into all organizations.
