| 3 | VideoDoes Western Accounting Cause Terrorism? | This month marked the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA. However, whilst the past ten years has witnessed lots of debate around issues of national security and foreign policy, the relationship between world trade, international accounting systems and peace has received comparatively little attention. The relationship between western accounting standards and the rise of terrorism asks whether the institution governing the development of global accounting standards needs to be transformed.

Sustainability Reporting: A New Role for Accountants | Presented by Professor Jane Hamilton, head of the Regional School of Business, La Trobe University. Accountants will be highly influential in the process of organisational change as businesses respond to the pressures to be more sustainable. Some research suggests that accountants have a negative impact through imposing cost-benefit analyses which consider only financial issues. However, other research suggests accountants are very aware of the issues and are helping to strategically guide their organisations through them as well as implementing management systems to collect and report the relevant data. 2009 Worner Research Lecture, 27th May, 2009.
