Sažetak
The ame of this paper is to contribute to the discussions making us aware that the global order requires global institutions, regulatory mechanisms and control, whereby the disclosures of financial scandals are seeen as a crucial factor in mobilizing the public to form its opinion. The paradigm of information technology pervades the core of life and mind, while the networks constitute a new social morphology in a way which the network logic represents a distinctive feature of the global era. Social audit becomes an important agent of social change, providing for the involvement of different actors in the realisation of these changes. First of all, accountability in management is increased, which triggers changes in organisational behavior not only towards the external environment in the sense of its greater responsiveness and accountability towards stakeholders, but also within its internal structure, meeting the requirements for greater individual rights of the employees.
