System of Environmental-Economic Accounting
Integration within SEEA-CF
Strength of SEEA: consistent application of accounting rules,
principles and boundaries in organisation of physical and monetary
information.
1. Link between measures of flows of goods and services in physical
and monetary terms as reflected in monetary and physical supply
and use tables.
2. Link between changes in the stock of environmental assets over an
accounting period and the use of extracted natural resources as an
input to economic production, consumption and accumulation.
3. Connection between the measures of production, consumption and
accumulation in monetary terms and measures of flows of income
Integrating and presenting the accounts between different sectors.
4. Functional accounts

System of Environmental-Economic Accounting
The sequence of economic accounts
• SNA: sequence of economic accounts
• Derivation of balancing items (GDP, GNI etc.)
• Balancing items can be defined so as to take
into account the depletion of natural
resources
 Depletion adjusted net value added,
depletion adjusted net operating surplus, etc

System of Environmental-Economic Accounting
Adjusted National income for depletion

Exercise
• Environmental accountants should not only compile
the accounts, they should also be able to explain the
data to the users.
• Please assess the two core tables for water for 2005
and 2010. Evaluate the main changes that occurred
between these two years.
• Work in a group. Discuss the results. What are the 5
most important messages you deduce from this
data?
• Prepare a short presentation where you present the
5 most important messages and also explain why
yiu think this is important.
