La responsabilidad social en las organizaciones (RSO): análisis y comparación entre guías y normas de gestión e informaciónHoy son múltiples las iniciativas internacionales y nacionales que existen para promover, concretar y comunicar la Responsabilidad Social en las Organizaciones (RSO). Esta dispersión de criterios reclama una sistematización metodológica. De tal manera, el presente artículo plantea cuatro niveles para clasificar esas iniciativas: (1) directrices y compromisos de carácter universal; (2) guías de producción y metodologías de evaluación de informes y acciones de RSO; (3) normas o criterios de gestión y ajuste en la implantación de la RSO; y por último, (4) técnicas y herramientas para medir y gestionar. El artículo tiene como objetivo presentar, comparar y sistematizar las iniciativas internacionales y nacionales que tratan sobre normas y guías en los niveles 2 y 3.Concluimos que la RSO comienza a entenderse y aplicarse de forma más integrada en las empresas y en la sociedad, trascendiendo el simple cumplimiento legal, la creación de utilidades, y la filantropía que se manifiesta en el patrocinio de actividades de caridad o de inversión en asistencia social. Esta conclusión se obtiene luego de contrastar y sistematizar las guías y normas estudiadas en el documento.

Organisations’ social responsibility (OSR): analysis and comparison between management and information guidelines and standardsMany international and national initiatives have been advanced for promoting, fixing and communicating organisations' social responsibility (OSR). Such broadcasting of criteria demands methodological systematisation. The present article thus proposes four levels for classifying such initiatives: universal guidelines and commitments, production guidelines and methodologies for evaluating OSR reports and action, OSR management standards or criteria and adjusting how it is introduced and measurement and management techniques and tools. The article is aimed at presenting, comparing and systematising international and national initiative dealing with level 2 and 3 standards and guidelines.It was concluded that OSR has begun to be understood and applied in a more integrated way in companies and society, transcending simple legal compliance, creating profits and leading to the philanthropy manifest in sponsoring charity activities or investment in social assistance. This conclusion was obtained after contrasting and systematising the guidelines and standards studied in the document.

Aportes de la información contable ante diversos entendimientos de la responsabilidad social empresarialConsidering the current socio-economic situation and its evident problems, it is not easy to argue that the only role of corporations is the creation of wealth. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the link between corporations and the socio-economic situation. This strongly influences a number of disciplines, such as accounting, and consequently the reports they produce. CSR is not an unambiguous concept. On the contrary, its complexity and implications increase as different perspectives from the standpoint of politics, sociology, ethics or management contribute to its development. Nevertheless, not all dimensions of responsibility have a positive impact on society. In order to establish the impact of corporations in that sense it is paramount to reveal and understand the limitations and contributions of financial and management accounting with regard to the different notions of CSR.
