Guide to Environmental Issues and Annual Financial Reporting

This guide was put together to assist those involved in the writing, auditing or even reading of annual financial statements. While changes in the UK company laws in 2006 have clearly addressed the issue of environmental reporting with regards to large listed companies, this guide is designed to assist all businesses.

In short, the guide aims to help businesses understand EU environmental directives (and how they have been translated in UK law); clarify the importance and relevance of Accounting Standards when it comes to environmental accounting; highlight good practice in the area and finally, provides a specific section for report writers and auditors.
