This handbook provides an atlas of current practice in the field of responsible investment. With a large global team of expert contributors, the book explores the impact of responsible investment on key financial actors ranging from mainstream asset managers to religious organizations. Offering students and researchers a comprehensive introduction to current scholarship and international structures in the expanding discipline of responsible investment, this handbook is vital reading across the fields of finance, economics and accounting.

The standard and related amendments were subsequently approved by the SEC on October 23, 2017, and are effective as of audits of fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2017 (except for the “Critical Audit Matters” section of the standard and related amendments, which have a phased effective date). This 2018 edition of the AICPA’s PCAOB Standards and Related Rules includes the newly approved standard The Auditor's Report on an Audit of Financial Statements When the Auditor Expresses an Unqualified Opinion (AS 3101). In addition, this title also features updated staff guidance, included a new question and answers section, updated guidance for firms filing the new Form AP, and a new Staff Audit Practice Alert to assist auditors in applying PCAOB standards when auditing companies' implementation of the new FASB revenue accounting standard.
