“…This aspect is also emphasized by the previous studies, which considered mainly the influence of the CO 2 emissions. The authors analyzed both the possibility of employing ICT for recording and auditing the CO 2 emissions, in order to analyze their impact on the environment (Mouchet, 2014), and the emissions of ICT (Moyer and Hughes, 2012;Raju, 2013). The results emphasize both the negative, and the positive effects on the eco-system.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to identify how auditors can contribute to supporting the protection of natural environment, without this being subject to their engagement. The interest in the topic was determined, on the one hand, by the infiltration of the information and communication technologies (ICT) in the auditors' work and, on the other hand, by the significant increase of the concerns for environmental protection. The intersection of the two areas has led to the concept of green ICT auditing, approached by the present study. Within it, we argued the importance of establishing positive connections between auditing, environment and ICT for the society. We provided a brief presentation of the green ICT concept, as a result of the selection and study of the most relevant opinions from the specific literature. Next, in the most important part of the paper, we presented in detail how auditing can contribute to augmenting the favourable influences of green ICT on the environment, the latter being regarded both as a subject and as an object of auditing. Based on the information collected while performing the study, we concluded that auditors can have a significant role in decreasing the influence of ICT on the environment, but only if their endeavours are supported and sustained by the companies subject to audit engagements.

“…Such changes are reliant on the accurate discovery and recording of ICT activities and the quantification of associated energy usage and emissions. While the literature discusses the impact of ICT emissions (Raju 2013, Bull 2012 there is a need for a means by which the emissions may be recoded and audited so that their impact my be assessed. The principle objective of this paper is therefore examine the means by which the ICT related emissions of an organisation may be captured and audited.…”

This article has presents an extensive survey of the state of the art in Green IT/S. The findings of the survey suggest that there is scope for a reliable carbon footprint auditing tool for organisational ICT usage. A prototype auditing tool is developed and a trial audit carried out and evaluated. Conclusions include the need for automation of the audit, the need for consistent management of hardware within organisations, and the need to present carbon footprint data in a format that respects the privacy of the individual user, but allows meaningful conclusions to be drawn.
