This study aims to examine the extent of Environmental Managerial Accounting (EMA)
practice in University Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and the motivations for its use with a
view to improving trash management by University Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). Prior
studies suggest the need for environmental management accounting as a supporting tool
for trash management. Accordingly, this research has two main objectives. First is to
examine the awareness of Environmental Managerial Accounting (EMA) system among
UMT workers and second is to identify the benefit that University Malaysia Terengganu
(UMT) can get by adopting Environmental Managerial Accounting (EMA) system.
Interviews to officers at “Pusat Pembangunan Harta” (PPH) and RD Paper Sdn.Bhd will
be conducted. Additionally, the researcher will conduct questionnaire survey to UMT
workers because there is still a need for the university to encourage through education
and awareness on managing trash management in the campus. Findings of this study will
increase the solicit level of UMT workers on the importance of EMA on trash management.
As a result, a systematic trash education and awareness strategy can be developed to
obtain all potential benefit of EMA on trash management.
