The issue of whether the Environmental Management Accounting Environmental Management Accounting data and information could be applied to corporate accounting and management systems (other than EMS) and to national accounting systems requires further analysis. At the corporate level, the value of linking Environmental Management Accounting to (a) external ecological accounting and reporting or regulatory ecological accounting and reporting or (b) national accounting systems for national ecological accounting or national economic accounting is not clear. A more likely prospect at the corporate level is linkage to management systems for financial management; environmental management; health and safety management; quality management; and human relations. The most significant benefit in the short term would be to link the Environmental Management Accounting results to the corporate environmental management system to ensure that this system and audits of this system are informed by a fuller range of environmental costs.
