摘要:随着人类社会生产和经济活动规模的不断扩张，人类赖以生存的环境也日益受到破坏，可持续发展面临严峻的挑战。这促使人们越来越关注全球环境问题，保护环境的呼声也越来越高。与此同时，传统的会计没有将环境要素纳入会计核算体系，结果导致企业重视经济利益而忽视了对环境的保护，环境会计正是在环境资源恶化和修正传统会计的背景下产生的。目前国外发达国家的环境会计研究正向纵深发展，已经开始向环境会计的应用方面研究，而我国环境会计研究还处于起步阶段，主要是在介绍、借鉴、继承与局部创新的基础上开展起来的。几十年来，虽然我国在环境会计理论研究上已取得一些成果，但尚未形成完整的理论体系，导致环境会计具体核算内容难以明确，环境会计发展进程缓慢。
本论文是站在微观角度，对我国环境会计的相关问题进行研究分析。首先简要介绍了环境会计的含义、基本目标、研究对象等；接着详尽地探讨环境会计的重点部分，即环境会计要素的确认标准、计量方法，再以紫金矿业污染事件为例，对以上理论和方法进行了运用和验证，指出我国环境会计在应用中存在的问题。最后借鉴日本在建立环境会计方面的成功经验并结合我国实际提出解决对策。
