In the March 2001 edition of Australian CPA there was an article by Ian Nash and Adam Awty entitled “Just clowning around?”. The following is a quote from the article:
Basically, environmental and social reporting is when the accounting profession eases into its Birkenstock sandals and becomes green, fluffy and friendly. It’s the type of reporting that nobody is the market could possibly take seriously, and even if it’s on the horizon, it’s a long way from becoming a regulatory and legal issue. True or false?
With reference to accounting theory critically evaluate the above quotation and provide an opinion on the ‘true or false’question

The essay should be no smaller than 1000 words and no greater than 1500 words. (Use the word count in Microsoft office and write the number of words at the end of the essay).
Required Format Students are required to upload their document through “Turnitin” in Blackboard. By no later than 5pm on Friday 3rdJanuary 2014. Essays should be typed using Microsoft Word with a minimum size 11 font and using minimum 1.5 line spacing (no single spaced submissions please). Left and right page margins should be at least 3 cm. Chicago referencing style is required for in-text and end-text referencing. A completed assignment coversheet should be included with the assignment and the declaration signed by the student indicating that the work submitted is his/her own work. University policies and procedures for academic misconduct and plagiarism will be applied. Further information is available at academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au. Unsigned declarations will not be accepted. Originality reports can be viewed by students to ensure they have referenced where appropriate and not plagiarised. (In summary, plagiarism is not giving due reference to work that is not your own whether copied or paraphrased). Students can reload their edited documents multiple times prior to the submission time. Assignment cover sheets may increase the percentage of similarity but this can be ignored along with percentages related to end-text references. Other similarity matches will all be examined closely to ensure that students submit their own work. As a guide, try to keep similarity below 20%. IMPORTANT -The file name of the word document submitted (ie the submission title) needs to reflect your location and student ID for example if you are from Sydney your file name should be (SYD_12345678) or Hong Kong (HK_12345678) or Singapore (SING_12345678).File name should not include your name or title test 2, you can include these in your actual document, NOT THE FILE NAME.
