Chapter Chapter 2 in Social Compliance Accounting, 2015, pp 11-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The central aim of this chapter is to discuss social accounting and associated research. In doing so, the chapter identifies a key research gap. So far within social accounting literature, social compliance has not been the focus area of research, despite its widespread implications within global supply chains. The chapter begins with the definition of social accounting which existing research has considered. It then discusses prior social accounting research in order to discern the key research gap. The chapter ends by identifying the main research area to be addressed in the following chapters.
