Abstract

The unbridled industrial growth has led to increased concern about global warming and environmental degradation. Due to this increased concern, the business organizations are voluntarily reporting environment-related information in their financial statements and disclosures. Despite the initiatives of these companies regarding environmental disclosures, environmental reporting and disclosures are not adequate in India. This poses a challenge for Indian Business Schools to incorporate environmental perspectives in their course curriculum, especially Environmental Accounting, to equip the future managers with different facets of environmental accounting for improved level of environmental disclosures by Indian firms. The present study attempts to assess the perception of the stakeholders, including management students, academicians, industry practitioners and representatives of regulatory bodies, regarding the incorporation of environmental accounting in the curriculum of Indian management education. The results suggest that these respondents consider environmental accounting to be an emerging issue, requiring further development due to its perceived usefulness as a subject to any organization. The study concludes that there is support for environmental accounting to be incorporated into Indian management education programs and offers some suggestions on the topics that are considered most relevant from our sample of Indian stakeholders.
