Integrated Accounting

Accounting and reporting evolved over the last fifty years to the point where so-called non-financial reporting has established its own standing. Today the accounting profession realises the need to collaborate with new partners in “saving the planet”. Shock events of the last two decades have underlined the conclusion by Big Four executives in the 2000s that the old financial reporting model has become redundant.

As we come to grips with the implications of the digital revolution, the challenge is to look beyond reports to underlying accounting systems, values and intercapital connections. This requires re-organisation and collaboration between the financial, management and sustainability accounting professions. It involves the making of more holistic and integrated, New Accounting.

Working with accounting experts and interdisciplinary teams, I provide co-leadership in delivering:

Definition and application of new accounting principles and approaches to capture value creation, respecting the realities of sustainability context, interconnectivity between diverse capitals (financial and non-financial) and long-term consequences,

Development of alternative accounting methodologies and statements, measuring true valued added and integrating externalities, and helping organisations produce statements of income, financial position and future risk & opportunity that reflect relevant tangible as well as intangible assets, and

Facilitation of dialogue, learning and capacity building events to improve integrated thinking, converged application of standards, sector-specific relevance and practices to produce higher quality of integrated reporting <IR>.
