Considering 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.Levando em conta o atual entorno socioeconômico e os problemas visíveis é difícil argumentar que o único papel da empresa é a geração de riqueza. Responsabilidade social empresarial, RSE, surge como elo entre a empresa e esse entorno. O dito gera um impacto palpável em diversas disciplinas, incluindo a contábil e consequentemente nos informes que de ela decorrem. RSE está longe de ser um conceito unívoco. Ao contrário, sua complexidade e alcance aumentam na medida em que diversas perspectivas, desde a política, sociologia, ética, management. contribuem ao seu desenvolvimento. Contudo, nem todas as dimensões da responsabilidade terminam impactando positivamente a sociedade. Para poder estabelecer os efeitos que a empresa tem nesse entorno é fundamental compreender e desvendar os aportamentos e insuficiências que a contabilidade financeira e gerencial tem frente aos diversos entendimentos da RSE.
Teniendo en cuenta el actual entorno socioeconómico y los problemas visibles, es difícil sostener que el único rol de la empresa sea la generación de riqueza. La responsabilidad social empresarial, RSE, surge como vínculo entre la empresa y ese entorno. Lo anterior genera un impacto palpable en diversas disciplinas, entre ellas la contable y consecuentemente en los informes que de ella se desprenden. La RSE dista de ser un concepto unívoco. Por el contrario, su complejidad y alcance aumentan en la medida en que diversas perspectivas, desde la política, la sociología, la ética, el management... contribuyen a su desarrollo. Sin embargo, no todas las dimensiones de la responsabilidad terminan impactando positivamente a la sociedad. Para poder establecer los efectos que la empresa tiene en ese entorno es fundamental comprender y develar los aportes y limitaciones que la contabilidad financiera y gerencial tiene frente a los diversos entendimientos de la RSE

Aportes de la información contable ante diversos entendimientos de la responsabilidad social empresarialUribe-Bohórquez, Maria Victoria; Rueda Delgado, Gabriel (DIALNET OAI Articles, 2012)Considering 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.

Contributions of accounting information to corporate social responsibility in accordance with the needs of society. A critical lookNULL; Rueda Delgado, Gabriel; Pontificia Universidad Javeriana; Uribe Bohórquez, María Victoria; Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2012-06-20)Despite the boom in corporate social responsibility (CSR) it is difficult to argue that the social welfare of the individual , formerly in the hands of the State, should be the business of private enterprise. This article therefore proposes initially that CSR should incorporate a new dimension in society, the public agreement in accordance with the theory of communicative action. It then evaluates the transformation required for financial and management accounting used to account for CSR in its traditional form, that is, when a business proclaims its responsibility, into one that accounts for the recognition of the needs of the Colombian situation, called ´corporate social responsibility with social relevance´. The study contributed conceptual categories that can be applied to empirical work on real businesses companies.

Los informes de responsabilidad social empresarial: su evolución y tendencias en el contexto internacional y colombiano: Evolution and Trends in the International and Colombian ConteGómez Villegas, Mauricio; Quintanill, Diego Alexander (DIALNET OAI Articles, 2012)This document is framed by interdisciplinary studies on corporate social responsibility. The research aimed to build an analytical framework to identify, characterize and assess the evolution of social responsibility reports. The present paper is the third one that presents the progress of such research. The central question is about the evolution of the production of CSR reports in Colombia and at the international level. Here we revisit the conclusions and the analytical framework central arguments that were developed in previous work and focus on the presentation and interpretation of the developments and trends in corporate social responsibility reports since the advent of the Global Reporting Initiative, GRI, in 1997, up to the reports presented in 2010. These developments and trends show that social and environmental information under the GRI approach has been largely captured by financial logic, apparently playing a role that is more about legitimation than transformation (O'Dwyer, 2003; O'Dwyer Owen & Unerman, 2011).
