Abstract: Corruption is a universal concern that can impact the quality of life of citizens. Of relevance to the issue of corruption, is the free-market assumption that market power solves issues of inequality and the power of corporations. Within the context of social and environmental accounting, where corporations are focused upon as agents of change, this paper explores the ability of a civil society framework to resist corruption. Simply put, rather than being limited by perspectives from managerial quarters – an organisation-centric approach – this essay provides an evaluative framework that breaks free from the morass and instead embraces civil society.
