About environmental accountability

We believe that organisations have a responsibility to account for their impact on society and the environment. Organisations must develop strategies that take account of their impact on sustainability and should consider environmental issues alongside their core business functions.

Technical activities

An important part of ACCA's institutional work is to contribute to the debate on technical issues affecting business and accountancy and to represent the interest of its members in relation to the legislation and professional standards that they have to comply with in their work.
