The Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) is happy to announce the launch of a new Special Interest Section for Environmental Accounting.

Environmental accounting is the practice of measuring and accounting for all the contributing factors that result in an impact to the environment. Environmental accounting is necessary to provide veracity and confidence in environmental and sustainability assertions and spans all levels of reporting – statutory and voluntary, corporate and government.

In March 2021, the EIANZ Board endorsed a resolution to amalgamate the expertise and resources of the Australian Institute of Environmental Accounting (AIEA) with the EIANZ to establish the Environmental Accounting Special Interest Section.
