| Description | The quality of reported accounting data and the way these data are used are becoming more and more risky aspects of business management. Many instruments are already used to identify creative accounting and frauds and new ones are still being searched for. One of suitable approaches is the usage of database Farm Accountancy Data Network and environmental indicators. Monitoring of material balances and wastes in the form of environmental costs and also parts of material balances can be a basis for a creation of the model for detection of material flow cost accounting. The model uses other balance areas as well: financial, energy-related and legislative. The paper presents a proposal of the model and its possible use for discussion. The proposed model was applied to real conditions of two real production companies with trading activities. Its strengths and weaknesses are evaluated. |
