Governance for a Greener Future: The Interplay of Internal Control, Environmental Accounting, and Auditing

Abstract

Governments worldwide are placing a greater emphasis on enhancing ecology and the environment as a result of escalating ecological issues. One possible approach is sustainable governance. This chapter explores the interrelated roles of internal control, environmental accounting, and environmental auditing mechanisms in promoting sustainable governance and green transformation. By looking at these three aspects, the chapter illustrates how integrated approaches can promote sustainable practices and guarantee adherence to environmental standards. The objective of this chapter is to present a thorough knowledge of the ways in which these components work together to support sustainability as a whole.
