INTRODUCTION

Human life and environmental problems can never be separated. Since the earth was created until the end of time, the environment has become a place for human growth and development and the changes and movements they do in each timeline. Environmental issues and problems have been transformed into exciting findings, discussions, or studies to be discussed on a small scale and globally (Selaniar, Fajriani, & Setyobudi, 2014). The environment will be an issue for people, once humans feels a problem with the environment (Ithof, 2018). Moreover, climate change and environmental quality also compel citizens to consider their own health and safety (Papp, 2022). Environmental and social get the spotlight and attention because the impact is so significant on human life. For example, plastic debris, approximately 5700 million metric tonnes of plastic items were thrown or burned between the 1950s and the present (Isobe & Iwasaki, 2022). We have met many discussions about the environment in various forms initiated by various groups ranging from academics, environmentalists, government, and so on. The more diverse human activities every day, small or large, will impact the environment. This is because humans make the environment one of the fulcrum points for fulfilling their needs, which consequently causes the environment to be affected by these activities (Ningsih & Rachmawati, 2017).

Based on figure 1, the highest environmental destroying aspects are corporations, especially those investing in mining and plantation. The second part is the government, the third is a combination of corporations and government, and finally, the community (Walhi, 2013). The company's activities have various impacts, ranging from social, economic and ecological impacts. Social impacts are consequences related to the company's community, such as community mobilization, community daily activities and so on. The economic impact is related to the level of the economic welfare of the people who are in the company's environment. The company influences the community's economy in this case. Another impact that is no less important to be discussed is the ecological impact. The term ecology is often juxtaposed with the environment. When talking about ecological impacts, we are talking about environmental impacts. When referring to the triple bottom line concept, one aspect that becomes the main component is the planet (environment) (Apriliani & Abdullah, 2018).

There are four reasons environmental issues are considered increasingly important today, namely the first, related to the company's size. The larger the company, the higher the accountability regarding operations, products and services (Soraya & Mahmud, 2016). Second, environmental activists and NGOs have multiplied worldwide, including in Indonesia. Third, the reputation and image of the company. Companies today recognize that reputation, brand, and corporate image are strategic issues of high value and must be protected. Fourth, the development of communication technology is swift. Environmental and social issues that have a negative impact will spread and be easily accessed using information technology (Panggabean & Deviarti, 2012). The magnitude of the impact caused by environmental pollution makes people want the impact to be controlled so that the impact does not endanger the community. Karina and Yuyetta (2013) mention the science of accounting developed from here, which presented the company's financial information to stakeholders to obtain and provide information regarding the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of the company's responsibility to the environment.

Environmental accounting is still not explicitly regulated in accounting standards in Indonesia (Wulandari, 2021). However, IAI implicitly explains that the annual report must accommodate the interests of decision-makers. This is explained in PSAK No. 1 of 2021, which was ratified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (DSAK IAI), paragraph fourteen (14), which states: �Some entities also present, from financial statements, reports on the environment and company reports. added value (value added statement), especially for industries where environmental factors are significant and when employees are considered a group of users of financial statements who play an important role. Reports presented outside the financial statements are outside the scope of SAK.� (DSAK IAI, 2021).

In this study, the author refers to the Basic Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (KDPPLK), with the object PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero). This company is a company that rents and sells land and buildings, container depots, heavy equipment rental, wastewater treatment and development of supporting facilities. Furthermore, PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) commits to participate in implementing and supporting government policies and programs in the economic and development fields in general, in particular, providing infrastructure, carrying out development and management, exploitation and development as well as carrying out activities in the industrial estate business sector and services by applying the principles of the company, good corporate governance, balanced scorecard/performance-based, to ensure the company is going concerned. PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) understands that long-term business sustainability will not be achieved only by fulfilling operational targets and financial performance. Business success will be realized if the Company can maintain a balance between achieving economic performance, social performance and environmental performance. Therefore, the company prepares various programs based on the needs of stakeholders on an ongoing basis.

PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) must consider the impact on business performance and the consequences for the environment and society. Therefore, the company must constantly make a real contribution to the environment and society through social responsibility programs that have been implemented. Social and environmental accounting treatment must be carried out correctly and appropriately. The process of identifying, measuring, appraising, presenting, and disclosing environmental costs is an exciting accounting problem to study because until now, there has not been a definite formula for the method of recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing environmental costs to companies. Therefore, the formulation of the problem in this research is how appropriate the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of environmental costs is carried out by PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) with the Basic Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (KDPPLK).

F.   Recognition of the Cost of Corporate Social Responsibility of PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero)

Recognition relates to whether or not an event (transaction) that occurs within the company is recorded (Kusumawati, 2015).

Based on paragraph 83 of KDPPLK (2014), items that meet the definition of an element must be recognized if:

Based on the analysis, it can be concluded regarding the costs of social responsibility, PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) has formed a Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL), which is oriented to the public sector concerning PSAK 45 and ISAK 35.

Recognition of the Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL) is carried out using a cash basis. It is recognized as a cost account, namely the environmental development distribution account, which will provide economic benefits for the company in the future.

The measurement of the social responsibility costs of the Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL) is recorded at the realizable/settlement value, which can be said to be under what is stipulated in the Basic Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (KDPPLK).

The presentation of the Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL) is contained in the distribution post and expenses, namely the environmental development distribution account presented in the activity report.

The report has appropriately disclosed the disclosure of the Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL).

There are no normative rules related to the cost accounting for CSR and the importance of environmental and social factors, so the findings of this study have practical implications for other business actors who should have their own business units that focus on social and environmental aspects. The limitation of this research is that it is only limited to qualitative descriptive analysis and it is hoped that further research will deepen it further with a case study model
