The Necessityof Adopting Environmental Accounting In Algeria In Light Of Modern Challenges And Bets - A Field Study

Authors : Houas Mohamed .

Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide a summary of the literature on environmental accounting and environmental disclosure, in addition to a number of pressures behind the growing international interest in the latter, which in turn represent stakes in the face of environmental accounting in Algeria. In a second phase, we will try to identify the need to identify and apply environmental accounting in Algeria in light of the recent challenges through a survey. On this basis, this study was divided into two main axes: the first axis reviews the theoretical framework of environmental accounting and environmental disclosure; and the second axis is represented in the survey, which included a number of university professors and researchers with interest and research in this field in addition to a number of employees at the level of Mitidja Cement Company (S.C.MI - GICA), due to its availability of a cell in charge of environmental accounting. Through the study presented, we found that there is a strong correlation (positive relationship) between the need for a general framework for environmental accounting at the level of Algerian institutions and the role playedby environmental disclosure in raising the quality of financial statements and decision-making.
