How is the new accounting treatment developed for the security of the responsive farm manager while incorporating social responsibility in the process of private farming?
This paper discusses the issues related to a new conceptual framework based on the point reached by the existing farm accounting research.
The conceptual framework of the new farm accounting was designed as follows.
1. The governance level, which is the substantial owner of farm management, orients the decision-making at the management level, and the orientation consists of decision-making with two different characters: “profit-and-loss decision-making” and “responsive decision-making”. “Responsive decision-making” reflects decision-making which incorporates the factor of social responsibility in the process of private farming.
2. In the accounting treatment, which shows how the management level was allocated, the management resources left from the governance level, both a “profit and loss account” and the “respondent netassets account”, which newly books responsive decision-making, are coupled in the account system.
3. If the latter accounting display is used as a “responsive net assets statement” (tentative name), the new financial statements of the farm management incorporating social responsibility would consist of four items: a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet and a statement of cash flow, and a responsive net assets statement.
