Abstract
Developing countries like India are facing the problem of protecting the environment and promoting economic development. An appropriate trade-off between environmental fortification and economic development is the need of the day. A careful estimation of the benefits and costs of environmental compensation is necessary to find the safe and sound limits of environmental degradation and the required level of development. The accountants in India are aware of the fact that environmental issues will affect business and industry, and have thus started the practice of the use of environmental accounting along with the final accounts. This study focused on the practices of companies in India.
