Books and Other Media

From this page you can access a pile of references to books, videos, films and more. Because of continual changes to the material – and the list is far from complete – the table will always be a ‘work-in-progress’.

For books, films and DVDs some authors have died since completing their contribution. For some of them their vision continues via foundations or in some other way.

For many items there is more. For instance for films and DVD’s there’s often a book and/or material to engender discussion in classrooms and elsewhere. It is not unusual for there to be a subsequent edition, or versions of different lengths. Release/publication dates may differ between countries.

Almost always there are reviews and critiques. Oftentimes works are referenced in academic and other material. For most Wikipedia has an entry. Awards have been conferred on many. A large number are now available on the Internet, often at no charge, and are frequently available in libraries.

There is a preponderance of material originating from USA – a fascinating insight!

NOTES:
(a) The table is wider than can be viewed on screens; use the scroll bar at the bottom of the display to see additional columns
(b) The table is sortable on any one column
(c) As it is difficult to find on the Web a copy of the seminal New Zealand discussion paper Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (dated November 2000, published August 2001) has been provided here for your convenience; a PDF file.
(d) The same applies to the Report of the Taskforce on Sustainable Development Reporting published 2002 by the then Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Zealand.
(e) Similarly for the discussion document A Plea to the Accounting Profession: Governance for Sustainability published December 2009 by the then Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Zealand.
(f) On 19^th July 2018 Jane Diplock a professional director who has been pro-active over many years in the fields of securities, governance, and reporting among others, provided a keynote address to a webinar under the auspices of NZ Treasury partnered by CA ANZ. Jane’s thought provoking speech is of some importance to chartered accountants in New Zealand Australia and elsewhere. It alerts them to significant global and local happenings in the reporting sphere and alerts them to emerging requirements and opportunities. It merits reading and consideration for action especially by chartered accountants. She has kindly made the text available. Holistic or Integrated Thinking for the 21st Century
