Accounting and resilience

This project explores how accounting can help organisations and societies respond to uncertainty, disruption, and crisis in more resilient and sustainable ways. It examines how accounting does not simply measure resilience, but also shapes it by influencing decisions, allocating resources, and framing what is protected, prioritised, or transformed. The project considers both the potential of accounting to support adaptation, equity, and long-term sustainability, and the ways in which conventional accounting practices may reinforce vulnerability, exclusion, or unequal outcomes.
