Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of accounting and reporting practices in representing sustainability within organizations and examines how individuals engage with integrated reporting to make sustainability meaningful. It provides theoretical and empirical contributions to address the role of accounting and reporting practices, by exploring the case of a large international oil and gas company, which operates in more than 70 countries worldwide. The author argues that there are three key features that may affect an organization's approach towards sustainable value creation: firstly, how the adoption of integrated accounting and reporting practices affect the way in which organizations perceive, evaluate and combine financial and non-financial performance; secondly, what the effects of adopting integrated accounting and reporting practices are on managers' aspirations towards sustainable value creation; and thirdly, how integrated accounting and reporting practices stimulate questioning and debate around how non-financial initiatives and performance affect short, medium and long-term financial outcomes. The book shows how undefined concepts such as sustainability and sustainable development are constructed and gain meaning throughout the continuous debates that take place during the production of accounting and reporting practices and furthermore, how organizations can use integrated reporting to embed sustainability and financial performance within their decision-making processes. The book will be of interest to scholars in the field of accounting, management and sustainability, as well as practitioners from a wide array of additional fields, such as governance, business ethics and corporate reporting
