Full cost accounting
Environmental Full cost accounting (EFCA) generally refers to the process of collecting and presenting information — about environmental, social, and economic costs and benefits /advantages (collectively known as the "triple bottom line") - for each proposed alternative when a decision is necessary. It is a conventional method of cost accounting that traces direct costs and allocates indirect costs. [ 1 ] A synonym, true cost accounting (TCA) is also often used. Experts consider both terms problematic as definitions of "true" and "full" are inherently subjective ( see Green economics for more on these problems). Since costs and advantages are usually considered in terms of environmental , economic and social impacts, full or true cost efforts are collectively called the " triple bottom line ".
The triple bottom line (abbreviated as TBL or 3BL , and also known as people, planet, profit or "the three pillars" [ 1 ] ) captures an expanded spectrum [ further explanation needed ] of values and criteria for measuring organizational (and societal) success: economic, ecological, and social. With the ratification of the United Nations and ICLEI TBL standard for urban and community accounting in early 2007, [ 2 ] this became the dominant approach to public sector full cost accounting .
