Human Resource Accounting
(HRA) recognizes employees as valuable organizational assets and provides
information about their contribution to organizational performance. The studies
on Human Resource Accounting Disclosures practices are crucial to find out the
effort of modern organizations as well as the contribution of human resources
to perform better any organization. In connection, the purpose of the present
study is to review the research articles to explore and analyze the existing
literatures on Human Resource Accounting Disclosure practices in and outside
India. The study will be able to throw its light on HRA valuation models,
disclosure practices, human-capital investment, and the relationship between
human resources and profitability related research works. The reviewed articles
identify the Lev and Schwartz Model as one of the most widely used methods for
human-resource valuation in Indian companies. The literature review from the
study also reveals the positive impact of employee training, development,
compensation, welfare, and other human-capital investments on productivity and
financial performance. However, HRA disclosure remains largely voluntary,
qualitative, inconsistent, and non-standardized across organizations. The major
challenges identified include the absence of mandatory accounting standards,
difficulties in employee valuation, uncertain employee tenure, and differences
in valuation assumptions. Overall, the literature emphasizes the importance of
standardized HRA valuation and disclosure practices to improve transparency,
comparability, and effective human-capital management.
