• List of Figures; List of Tables; Foreword by Prof. Stefano Zambon; Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Boundaries in Financial Reporting; Chapter 3 Boundaries in Non-Financial Reporting; Chapter 4 From theory to practice: reporting boundaries from financial to integrated reporting and their professional implications; Chapter 5 The Boundaries in Financial and Non-Financial Reporting: A Colossus Built on Shaky Foundations?

The boundaries that are set in all forms of corporate reporting not only demark the scope of information provided but represent the conjunction of accounting, economic concepts. Boundaries in reporting are concomitant with the boundaries of professional accountant, statutory auditors and assurance providers. As part of the neo-liberal narrative the boundary signifies the limits of the entity’s responsibilities and the externalities left for governments and societies to deal with. In this insightful and though-provoking study, Dr Girella challenges the boundaries we imagine to exist in reporting and demonstrates that they are increasingly being redrawn and becoming more permeable.
