Accounting as a source of information for reports based on GRI

Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development is increasingly included in the reports of business entities. This way the transparency is achieved, enabling stakeholders to assess such activity and problems associated with it. The content of sustainability reports based on GRI goes beyond the information traditionally collected and processed by the accounting system. The aim of this article is to verify which sources of data are used to prepare GRI reports, with particular emphasis on accounting. The research covered six reports prepared in accordance with these standards. The study included a critical analysis of the content of these reports. During the study, data was identified for which accounting is a system in which they are collected and further processed, and data that is collected in other information systems of the enterprise and then processed in the accounting system. This paper provides one of the first in-depth reviews of the use of accounting information in sustainability reports. The results may be of interest to practitioners and scientists involved in this type of reporting.
