LATEST PRODUCT REVIEW
CloudApps and FinancialForce combine resources to account for carbon.
3rd July 2010
Many column-inches have been devoted to environmental reporting, for example, what greenhouse gases, CO2 emissions, particulates and waste to measure and how. But now that environmental regulation has real ‘teeth’ and the financial consequences of so called ‘cap and trade’ schemes such as the CRC Carbon Reduction Commitment are more tangible there is a pressing need to transition from the theory of environmental reporting to the ‘nuts and bolts’ of recording carbon impacts in the financial statements. Gary Simon, managing editor FSN takes a look at a relatively new cloud-based product ‘CloudApps’ designed to demystify the management of carbon and help record the impact in popular accounts packages such as FinancialForce.com.
