Abstract

Green accounting is a new accounting field whose main function is to balance the development on both economy and environment through effective value management and combining accounting and environmental economy. Owing to the lack of relative regulation and the absence of governmental supervisory, there are some obstructions impeding its practice. In order to solve those problems, relatively well-established laws, governmental intervention and training young accountants are required in this process.
