This course is designed to enable you to develop specialised knowledge and skills in sustainable management. The aim is to provide you with an up-to-date understanding of applications of accounting mechanisms that an organisation can put in place to reduce its negative impacts and increase its positive impacts, on the environment and societies in which it operates. The course will also demonstrate that many actions aimed at enhancing an organisation's contribution to sustainable development can also create positive business benefits for an organisation.
The course is based on both the theory and practice of sustainable management, with a focus on external reporting (e.g. Sustainability Report) as well as internal management (management accounting for sustainability) of an organisation. Through various learning materials and learning activities, you will be encouraged to apply the theoretical learning to real world practice. This course thus offers you a holistic and comprehensive approach to studying accounting for sustainable management.
