Evaluating Sustainability Performance measures
3y ago#1I'm not sure what you are asking. Sustainability is mentioned only once in the study guide, in A5 (b):
"Discuss the social and ethical issues that may impact on strategy formulation and evaluate the role of the management accountant in the collection of data, measurement and reporting of social and environmental factors, such as are used to demonstrate a wider view of performance in reporting, for example, sustainability.[3] "
In the exam, I should think questions on this topic will relate to things like why sustainability is important, triple bottom line, what to measure, how to measure and the problems associated with these activities.
