Issue 30, September 2008
Welcome to the quarter three issue of ACCA's Accounting & Sustainability e-bulletin, which brings you an overview of activities on accounting and sustainable development issues between June and August 2008, as well as details of the top events for the forthcoming quarter.

Our bulletin has had a makeover to ensure it's easy to navigate and read online. You can still access previous issues from our online archive. Please do let me have your views on the useability of this new format.
