Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical commentary on Bebbington, Larrinaga‐Gonzales and Moneva, published inAccounting Auditing & Accountability Journal, Vol. 21 No. 3. Design/methodology/approach - The paper provides an analysis and critique of Bebbingtonet al., with particular reference to the position it takes on where the literature in the field is at, where it is going, where it should go and the contribution their paper makes. Findings - The paper finds that the approach taken by Bebbingtonet al.may hinder the contribution that reporting researchers can make to improving social and environmental performance.

Originality/value - The authors paper gives a different perspective on the contribution of Bebbingtonet al..
