The Bishop is conducting international consultations on Social Responsibility Management (Social Accounting Pathway).

There are two ends to reconcile if social accounting will work in practice. On the one hand, grassroot stakeholders will need to have the confidence and also develop the competencies to participate in social accounting exercises.

On the other hand, funders and investors would like to see that the methodology offers rigour and critique with regard to economic realities and financial value, if they will stay with the approach. The consultations seek to work on the two ends, and also to implement exercises or proposals.

The objectives of the consultations therefore include the following:

• encourage partnerships between ground-level social entrepreneurs and other professionals (in accounting, legal, and investments fields) to forge an accounting methodology that gives reward to all stakeholders in an economy.
  
  
• take further the roundtables in poverty alleviation exercises into a well-mapped accounting and rewarding of the annual contributions of the public, private, and voluntary sectors – through an agreed social accounting approach.
  
  
• develop mechanisms for effective economic regeneration audit that gives meaningful rewards to the contributions of local producers, small businesses, and social entrepreneurs
  
  
• engage the realities of globalisation at the broadest possible level in poor countries
  
  
• assist the entrepreneurial and professional bodies in the private and public sectors to address poverty alleviation as long-term stakeholders.
  
  
• broaden the minds of young people (future leaders) on the various sets of stakeholders in the modern economic market as well as the range/depths of co-ordination required to sustain economic growth.
  
  
• establish an on-going research and support base for evaluating how poverty alleviation is accounted for, in the interest of local and regional economic regeneration.

The bishop has also identified and sketched three international tracks of discipline (or experience) formation that may assist investors/employers to employ internationals who are matured in one of the tracks and also sharp with development tasks. The tracks are mapped out in the attached sketch.
