In the course, students start to consider real world scenarios including societal, environmental and political factors that can influence companies and their accounting decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the beginning of semester, quite often we see students not really buying into the idea that there could be a philosophy of accounting\u2026they\u2019ve become used to thinking of accounting in a certain way.\u201d She says, \u201cUsually, after the first few weeks we start to see the lightbulbs go off\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She goes on to say that if we just look at the dollars and cents then it doesn\u2019t give us the full picture. In order to make the best accounting decisions, we need to weigh up the dollars and cents alongside a company\u2019s impact on society, the environment and multiple other possible factors.<\/p>\n<p>She says that it is important for students to understand this and also understand the impacts their own decisions as professional accountants on wider society. \u201cThey\u2019re going into businesses and into practice and actually, they\u2019re going to have a huge impact on the world around them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":7656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[219,167,171,7,161],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-7606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ed-talk","category-global-outlook","category-learning-and-teaching","category-stories-from-the-classroom","category-thought-leadership"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7606"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9595,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7606\/revisions\/9595"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7606"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningandteachinghub.com\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=7606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
