Traditional economic and accounting theories focus on investor -
owned enterprise which deal with the production of goods and
services to maximise its economic value for shareholders. This book
offers an alternative perspective. It focusses on non-profit
organisations that produce goods and services with the intention of
maximising social value for the broader community. Traditional
accounting theories face limitations when dealing with these
organisations as their bottom line is not based on the traditional
model. Nonetheless, such entities have to consider economic and
financial equilibrium as a requirement for long-term survival.
Accordingly, this book presents research addressing three main
subjects: the limitations of conventional accounting for nonprofit
organisations, the meaning of accountability in relation to their
broad scope remit; and the potential of social and environmental
accounting for contributing to the accountability of social and
non-profit organizations. After a description of different types of
NPO organization, the authors analyse the performance measurement
adopted by NPOs and propose the development of broader and
multidirectional accountability models.
