Bloomsbury India Professional recently launched the book “A Practical Guide to Corporate Social Responsibility - Law, Accounting and Taxation Aspects” written by CS Rupanjana De as a complete one stop solution to all problems and queries related to the rising concept of Corporate Social Responsibility. CSR, now a mandate for prescribed classes of companies under the Companies Act, 2013 has been growing in popularity with the aim of alleviating the crippling social problems of India that have been decaying the country for decades. The book not only focuses on a company’s legal aspects of complying with the norms, but also discusses which related aspects of Schedule VII are allowed or disallowed as activities of CSR. The book has lucidated on the accounting aspects, disclosures, taxation aspects, practical problems and solutions for understanding the various norms, and the history of CSR, and implementation of this concept in other countries have been penned impeccably by Ms De. A research of CSR spending by top companies has also been shown in the book to understand the path in which CSR is headed for the development of the country. Perhaps the first guide on CSR in the market, this book is set to be a forerunner in the field of corporates striving to do better in the social sector, and for the layman, students and professionals with a knack for CSR.
