REPORTING ENTITIES ... ORGANIZATIONS
HOW ONE THING AND EVERYTHING IMPACTS ON EVERYTHING ELSE ... FOR GOOD OR BAD ... TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
|
|
|
CONVENTIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING IS EVERYWHERE / MORE AND MORE IMPACT REPORTING IS BECOMING A NEW NORMAL
ORGANIZATIONS: Banks / E-Business / Big retail / Franchise chains / Small business
Organizations report more than any other part of the socio-enviro-economic system, but the focus is all about financial performance and the impact for owners / investors. External impacts are ignored in conventional accounting and financial reporting. TVIA builds on the existing conventional accounting making it possible to also report on material externalities that impact people, society and the environment.

NAVIGATION VIA DIFFERENT GROUPS OF ORGANIZATIONS
There are many types of organizations, and many individual organizations. All of them have different characteristics. Some are making profit and doing good. Others are making profit and doing immense damage to society and / or the environment. We need to know a lot more about these characteristics in a way that is efficient, timely and relevant.

THE PURPOSE OF AN ORGANIZATION
|
|
|
THE ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONS
ORGANIZATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL TO MANAGING AT SCALE
Organizations have been a very important part of economic and financial performance for several hundred years. The metrics used in for-profit organizations to manage profit improvement have been very effective, but insufficient because they have ignored externalities up until now.
There are many types of organizations, and many individual organizations. All of them have different characteristics. Some are making profit and doing good. Others are making profit and doing immense damage to society and / or the environment. We need to know a lot more about these characteristics in a way that is efficient, timely and relevant.
No organization can be successful 'on its own' ... a successful organizations understands the context where it is working and acts accordingly.
The most successful organizations are those that have a meaningful social purpose as well as being able to give a decent return to the investors that fund the organization.
The idea that the main purpose of an organization is merely to make the maximum return for the owners is a legal construct that originated in the USA in the 1920s when Henry Ford and the Dodge Brothers were engaging in very unfriendly litigation ... rather the main purpose of many great organizations has been to do good for society as, for example, the manufacture of Sunlight Soap in the 1880s in order to improve health by a company that went on to become Unilever

ORGANIZATIONS - a critical component of the socio-enviro-economic system that enables efficiency
ESSENTIAL TO GETTING ANYTHING DONE
ORGANIZATION provide a framework for getting things done and achieving operational efficiency
ORGANIZATIONS ... Many different ways to organize ... different approaches ... different stakeholders ... different ownership ... but essential for performance efficiency
INITIATIVES ... THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING FROM AN IDEA TO IMPLEMENTATION AT SCALE ... PUTTING IDEAS INTO PRACTICE ... BUT VERY FEW ACHIEVE THE SCALE THAT NEEDED TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE
PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS ... THE BEST CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO QUALITY OF LIFE ... THE WORST DO IMMENSE DAMAGE TO SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE EFFICIENT FOR MONEY CAPITAL FORMATION BUT NOT SO MUCH FOR SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENT

INITIATIVES
A KEY STEP BETWEEN IDEA AND IMPLEMENTATION AT SCALE
PUTTING IDEAS INTO PRACTICE ... IDEAS BECOME INITIATIVES ... AND THEN GRADUATE FROM THERE.
Most ideas do not become initiatives ... most initiatives have a short life before they fail. There are huge number of INITIATIVES, but many do not have durable impact. There are many reasons for this. Among the reasons are inexperience, inadequate knowledge of the issues and problems, and not enough funding.
Many good ideas fail. Few initiatives eventually become major organizations. Some of the problems and ineffectiveness would be avoided if there were better metrics and an efficient knowledge base.

COMPANIES ... BIG DOMINANT MULTISTATE COMPANIES
BIG COMPANIES DOMINATE THE MODERN SOCIO-ENVIRO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM ... THEIR EFFICIENCY IS A KEY DRIVER OF PROGRESS
Because of their scale they have an outsize impact on the system as a whole. The performance of companies has been a key to major change in the past and will continue into the future. The profit measure served well in the past, but this has changed and a more refined set of measures is required for an efficient future ... that is True Value Accounting

BANKS AND FINANCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
PROVIDE A VITAL SERVICE FOR SOCIETY BUT DO NOT GENERATE VALUE ADD ... THERE PROFITS ARE A BIG COST TO SOCIETY
Money, banking and financial services are a critical lubricant for the socio-enviro-economic system, but are neither the engine nor the essential fuel!

SMALL BUSINESS / SMEs
AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SOCIO-ENVIRO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM BUT OFTEN INEFFICIENT AND DISADVANTAGED
Small business is an important part of a community, but seriously disadvantaged relative to the efficienty of the very large corporate organizations

COOPERATIVES
A FORM OF ORGANIZATION THAT PUTS STAKEHOLDERS OTHER THAN THE INVESTORS AT THE CENTER

MARKETS
Markets are central to the idea of a free economy, but the way markets work in the modern enviro-socio-ecomomic system is not the way free markets really work. Understanding the way modern markets are working is an important part of understanding how the modern enviro-soci-economic system works and how things need to be changed.

GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS, AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS
Many things are best done by government, but these things should be done efficiently. Low efficiency, poor accounting, accountability and transparency are big issues in government. Government has a poor track record in handling corruption at all levels.

THE MILITARY
The MILITARY and the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX have become very large and very powerful. They absorb a huge amount of wealth, and it is not clear whether the value fo the military establishment justifies these costs.

POLICE, COURTS AND PRISONS
The JUSTICE SYSTEM comprising POLICE, COURTS AND PRISONS needs to deter crime, to punish and to rehabilitate. Some police capabilities and performance are exceptional while some police behavior is reprehensible. These are important elements of a just and civilized society.

BRANDS
In many case the BRAND is more important to the consumer than the product. Brand reputation is one of the main connections that a seller has with the customer, and this is enabled and maintained by the advertising industry. Loss of brand reputation is a major risk for every organization that sells using brand identity.
