Environmental accounting also can be used to track environmental performance of organizations’ in more measurable manner. The key areas for monitoring are aggregated emission to air, water effluent discharge, soil contamination and boundary noise level as indicated in Figure 2.In the past, environmental accounting systems were used as a tool to evaluate and disclose environmental impact reduction effects to environmental conservation costs. However, in fact now the EMS in business has evolved, interest has grown in developing a better understanding of environmental- related financial costs and benefits as an input to conventional management accounting. For example, the internal costs associated with air emission to the environment are often not identified within conventional management practices. As a result, cost savings relating to environmental pressures frequently remain hidden. These so-called hidden costs are difficult to detect, yet these costs are often chronic in character and can be significant (Pernilla, 2001). Further to that, many other compelling reasons why the organizations need to establish and adopt the environmental accounting are shown in Figure 3.
