TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
CONTEXT
This slideset is a Work-in-Progress
and will be updated from time to time.
It is part of a series that aims to
enable better metrics for the complex
socio-enviro-economic system that
we all live in. Metrics are powerful,
but they must be the right metrics.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Today I am going to talk
about the letter P …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
WHY?
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
It is perhaps the most
important letter in the
English language.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Many important words
relating to society, the
environment and the
economy we live in, start
with the letter P?
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
PROFIT, the money
measure for business
performance and the
driver of stock market
valuation.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Everything changes
when the PROGRESS of
PEOPLE becomes the
PURPOSE of economic
activity and business.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
We have one PLANET …
but we have ignored
environmental damage
caused by decisions that
focus on maximizing
PROFIT.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TBL (Triple Bottom Line)* is an
initiative to put PROFIT,
PEOPLE, and PLANET
into business decisions.
* An idea promulgated by John Elkington in 1995
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
PERSPECTIVE … things
look different depending
on where the viewer is
standing.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
PERSPECTIVE
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
So, not just one
PERSPECTIVE …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… but all of these:
●PROFIT (ORGANIZATION);
●PEOPLE;
●PLACE (proxy for PLANET);
●PRODUCT (and PROCESS).
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
So, what happens when
we change PURPOSE?
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
If we change the main
priority from making
PROFIT for very few
investors to improving
Quality of Life for every
PERSON in the world ...
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… and doing so without
damage to the PLANET
as a whole and the
PLACES where there are
economic activities ...
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… then there will be
significant changes in
the decisions that get
made.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
The Quality of Life for
PEOPLE is enabled by
PRODUCTS (Goods and
Services)
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
PRODUCTS are made by
PROCESSES, which are
used by organizations
and make PROFIT ...
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… but PROCESSES also
have an IMPACT on
PEOPLE who are on the
PAYROLL …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… and PROCESSES also
have an IMPACT on the
PLACE and PLANET
caused by POLLUTION
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
We live in a very complex
world with a connected
socio-enviro-economic
system that is not at all
well understood.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Complex system … competing agendas
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
How do you PLAN within
a complex system? What
has happened in the
past? What is the history?
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING

The PEOPLE piece … Human Capital (HC)

TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Peter Drucker, a well known
management guru famously said:
“You can't manage
what you don't measure”
Because of this it is vital
to measure what matters,
everything that is really
important!
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
MONEY as a measure is
problematic …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
A measure should not
change over time but
always be the same!
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
The measure should not
change based on the
decisions of any person
or institution!
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
as a measure is also
problematic …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Robert Kennedy spoke
out about the problems of
GDP as a measure in a
speech at the University
of Kansas in 1968.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
"Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence
and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross
National Product, now, is over $800 billion dollars a year, but that Gross National
Product - if we judge the United States of America by that - that Gross National
Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear
our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the
people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of
our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear
warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts
Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify
violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the gross national product does
not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of
their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our
marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public
officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our
learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures
everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us
everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans."
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
There are other metrics:
●Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI)
●Gross National Happiness (GNH)
●Human Development Index (HDX)
●Quality of Life Index (QLX)
●The Legatum Prosperity Index (LPX)
●The Happy Planet Index 2.0 (HPX)
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
These measures show a
less favorable rate of
improvement than GDP …
for example GDP -v- GPI
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
The essential of a good
unit of measure is that it
is always the same …
In the USA, the National Institute for Standards
and Technology (NIST) is an authority in this
regard … see:
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/current.html
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
For many years
technology has enabled
amazing improvements
in PRODUCTIVITY
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Almost all the benefit of
PRODUCTIVITY has gone
to owners … almost none
to workers
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
This from Robert Reich,
Secretary of Labor in the
1990s, shows pay rose
with productivity until
1969 … and then it didn't
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
… and this does not
include the last decade
when worker reward has
become even worse.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
HOW?
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
I argue that we need to
have better metrics.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
So … Data at the Center
● Used to plan
● Used to organize
● Used to implement
● Used to monitor progress
● Used to monitor cost effectiveness
● Used to plan follow up next steps
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Not only to measure
PROFIT and the
performance of the
organization …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
But also these things:

Things like:
●A baby

TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
An extension of conventional
double entry accounting that
has been used for more than
800 years for money profit
accountability.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Accountancy Concepts:
● Double Entry Accounting;
● State, Process and Flow;
● State, Progress and Performance;
● Cost, Price and Value;
● Quantification;
● Standard Value;
● Data at the Center;
● Feedback;
● Reporting Boundaries;
● Consolidation Rules.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
PROGRESS

TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
PROGRESS is how much
better now than before.
It is change in STATE from the
Beginning of the Period (BOP)
to the End of Period (EOP)

Financial Capital … virtual masquerading as reality.
Human Capital … PEOPLE … are complex, because we
originated through nature, but our inventions are simple.
Man Built Capital is so simplistic compared to Natural
Capital. While in some part amazing, it is very crude
compared to what is the norm in Natural Capital.
In the end it is Natural Capital that is going to determine
everything. NC is infinitely complex and resilient and will
outlast everything Man Built … and People are unlikely to
survive in a future mass extinction that is quite certain.

TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Double entry accounting
has a BALANCE SHEET
that provides a way to
report STATE, and the
CHANGE in STATE.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
Double entry accounting
has a P&L ACCOUNT that
provides a way to report
PERFORMANCE.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
This is very POWERFUL,
and is the foundation for
all management systems
in the corporate world.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
But there is a problem …
conventional accounting
only addresses the
performance of the
organization …
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… only money based
transactions are included.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… all EXTERNALITIES are
ignored ...
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
The end result is that the
wrong decisions are
being made by people in
almost every corner of
the world.
TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
… wrong decisions in
every part of the global
socio-enviro-economic
system.

Effectively all financial
wealth has been created
by systemic exploitation
of nature, knowledge and
exploitation of working
people.

The ORGANIZATION perspective ...
The operations of an organization are the
aggregation of all the economic activities or
operations of the organization. For money
accounting there are established rules how this
consolidation is done. Similar rules are needed
for the aggregation of impact for the organization.

  • 20. So, what happens when we change PURPOSE? TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 21. If we change the main priority from making PROFIT for very few investors to improving Quality of Life for every PERSON in the world ... TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 22. … and doing so without damage to the PLANET as a whole and the PLACES where there are economic activities ... TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 23. … then there will be significant changes in the decisions that get made. TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 24. The Quality of Life for PEOPLE is enabled by PRODUCTS (Goods and Services) TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 25. PRODUCTS are made by PROCESSES, which are used by organizations and make PROFIT ... TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 26. … but PROCESSES also have an IMPACT on PEOPLE who are on the PAYROLL … TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 27. … and PROCESSES also have an IMPACT on the PLACE and PLANET caused by POLLUTION TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 28. We live in a very complex world with a connected socio-enviro-economic system that is not at all well understood. TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 29. Complex system … competing agendas TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 30. How do you PLAN within a complex system? What has happened in the past? What is the history? TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 31. YELLOW: The PEOPLE piece … Human Capital (HC) DIRTY BROWN: The ECONOMIC piece … Man Built Capital (MBC) GREEN: NATURE, ENVIRONMENT … Natural Capital (NC) COLOR KEY TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING

  • 46. TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING Peter Drucker, a well known management guru famously said: “You can't manage what you don't measure”

  • 53. Robert Kennedy spoke out about the problems of GDP as a measure in a speech at the University of Kansas in 1968. TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 54. "Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross National Product, now, is over $800 billion dollars a year, but that Gross National Product - if we judge the United States of America by that - that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans." TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 55. There are other metrics: ●Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) ●Gross National Happiness (GNH) ●Human Development Index (HDX) ●Quality of Life Index (QLX) ●The Legatum Prosperity Index (LPX) ●The Happy Planet Index 2.0 (HPX) TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 56. These measures show a less favorable rate of improvement than GDP … for example GDP -v- GPI TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 58. The essential of a good unit of measure is that it is always the same … In the USA, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) is an authority in this regard … see: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/current.html TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 59. For many years technology has enabled amazing improvements in PRODUCTIVITY TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 60. Almost all the benefit of PRODUCTIVITY has gone to owners … almost none to workers TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 61. This from Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor in the 1990s, shows pay rose with productivity until 1969 … and then it didn't MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 63. … and this does not include the last decade when worker reward has become even worse. TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 65. I argue that we need to have better metrics. TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
  • 66. So … Data at the Center ● Used to plan ● Used to organize ● Used to implement ● Used to monitor progress ● Used to monitor cost effectiveness ● Used to plan follow up next steps TRUE VALUE ACCOUNTING
