Objective of the research project INTUS (Operationalisation of Environmental Accounting Systems Instruments through the Effective Use of Environmental Management Information Systems) was to assess the application of Flow Cost Accounting in companies and to evaluate whether and how it can be supported by gathering information from IT systems on material flows and cost accounting.
