Resumen

  • The Measuring the Co-operative Difference Research Network (MCDRN;

    cooperativedifference.coop) and the Centre of Excellence in Accounting and Reporting for Co-operatives (CEARC at Saint Mary’s University) joined forces to organize an international conference, focused on how and why co-operatives assess their performance and their impacts on society.

    Academics and practitioners gathered to share their research and experiences with a variety of accounting and reporting tools and practices. The event offered an unprecedented opportunity to recognize and debate various reporting needs and practices, to hear from practitioners regarding the purpose and methods of reporting in their co-operatives, and to identify the building blocks for the establishment of key supports for co-operatives engaged in performance measuring and reporting.

    The conference was exploring five interconnected themes:

    1. Statistics and data collection 2. Putting co-operative principles into practice 3. Community impact 4. Member and stakeholder engagement 5. Reporting practices (co-operative identity and sustainability) The chapters in this book are organized according to these five themes. They offer an international snapshot of the work being undertaken in these areas, with the intention of sharing the knowledge and experience obtained thus far. The authors advocate a critical analysis of these materials, and suggest ways forward as practitioners and researchers address the reporting and dissemination challenges identified during the conference.

    This research was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
