The Role and Effectiveness of Institutional and Legal Framework to Combat Corruption Associated with Social and Environmental Accounting Practice to Strengthen the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Abstract

This research study analyses the vital role of legal and institutional frameworks in preventing corruption related to social and environmental reporting that adheres to promoting the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the SDGs, of the United Nations. Corruption provides a tremendous barrier to sustainable growth initiatives, particularly in the areas of social and environmental accounting, since it impacts accountability, transparency, and integrity. By examining existing literature, this study intends to highlight the key problems and best practices in preventing dishonesty, improving good governance, and boosting the efficiency of environmental and social accounting procedures. Ultimately, this research aims to provide knowledge and suggestions for governments, corporations, and stakeholders to boost the campaign against corruption and promote the SDGs.
