As business continues to become more multinational, more and more U. S. companies will be affected by international environmental accounting standards. Now the International Standards Organization (ISO) is on the verge of issuing a new series of rules, ISO 14001, for environmental management systems. The authors explain what the CFO must know about ISO 14001, and they show how one company has actually implemented the new standard.
