Accountants, management and financial controllers in companies or public authorities
We hear: “Accountants are in the business of accounting for money.
This is true, but we are under-utilising experts who are present in every organisation on the planet, and who are capable of universal, reliable and comparable measurements: a need at the heart of decarbonation.
For us, accountants and management controllers, enlarged accounting provides a unique opportunity to deploy our unique expertise: building reliable and comparable measurements on a global scale.
It’s up to us to experiment with enlarging the accounting systems we work on to include carbon. It is up to our professional bodies to provide a favourable framework for this enlarged scope.
