The Environmental Management Accounting (Ema) Perspective Calculation of Environmental Management Environment in Riau
Abstract: This study aimed to see the results of Environmental Management Accounting
(EMA) analysis in application to the environmental costs of oil mining companies in Riau
and their influence on the company. This analysis starts with the quantitative and descrip-
tive analysis of primary data in the form of data on the profits of the company’s petroleum
production. Data form of the amount of the company’s petroleum production per day and
the amount of sales profit per day. The analysis by including aspects of costs that must be
met by the company in Environmental Management Accounting (EMA). The results of the
analysis show that there was a decline in company profits by 15% between entering envi-
ronmental costs by not including environmental costs. However, the company still benefits
from the economic side. In addition, the company’s responsibility for the environment and
society could be fulfilled.
