The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview and history of human resource accounting (HRA) with the objective of promoting both continued academic research and organizational applications. The history of HRA illustrates how academic research can generate improvement in management systems. The paper defines HRA and suggests implications of measuring human capital for financial reporting and managerial uses. Recent Swedish‐based HRA applications with respect to measuring human assets and intellectual capital, including the Skandia Navigator, illustrate how intellectual history and developments in business schools can influence business history.

The idea of human resource valuation and reporting existed for more than half a century. The concept continues to be debated by economic, accounting, and psychology theoreticians universally. The main thrust of Human Resource Accounting (HRA) is to identify, quantify and report investments made on human resources of an organization that are not presently accounted for under conventional accounting practice. This study assesses the concept of HRA in order to unveil its strengths and weaknesses. The study adopted an expository approach and uses secondary data collected through documented texts, journal articles, and other publications. Descriptive and content analyses were used in collecting and collating the necessary information on HRA. The study revealed that the conceptualization of HRA, the ideas incorporated therein, and supporting arguments are good for the accounting profession and corporate financial reporting. This inference was drawn considering the quantity, quality, and superiority of the arguments in support of its application
