    Abstract

    Human resource accounting is a new approach in accounting that has a relatively short life. Human resource accounting can be considered as a combination of human resource management and accounting. By quantifying the value of resources, human resource accounting has improved the efficiency of human resource management and created facilities for the evaluation of personnel policy. Therefore, the present research has been conducted with the aim of identifying the obstacles to the implementation of the human resource accounting system in Iranian companies (Study of Green Energy Industrial Group). The statistical population of the present study consists of senior managers of all companies, middle managers and financial and human resources experts of Green Energy Industrial Group in the number of 74 people, which is considered as a sample in order to increase the credibility of the research of the entire society. To collect the information required for the research, a questionnaire was used, the reliability of which was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test. spss software was used to analyze the information obtained, and the results indicate that there is a significant relationship between adequate knowledge and understanding of the human resource accounting system, expert human resources, government support, the existence of suitable software, attention to the economic value of human capital and the support of senior managers as independent variables, and the establishment of the human resource accounting system as a dependent variable. Keywords: accounting, human resources, government support. Research

    1-1- Introduction

    Accounting of human resources enables an unprecedented recognition of a management principle regarding the material value of human resources in the organization. In the past, managers did not think about it and were completely indifferent to it, but today, due to the achievements of human resource accounting, managers' attention has been drawn to the issues of maintaining and optimal use of human resources. (Tusi, 1371: 39)

    Another goal of human resource accounting is to provide the necessary information for the effective and efficient management of human resources by the management. The human resource accounting system prepares the necessary information about the cost and value of people for organizations and responds to the specific needs of the organization in this field.  Accounting is one of the branches of human sciences that seeks to report the financial status and economic performance of natural and legal entities. And human resource accounting is one of its new sub-branches, which has a shorter lifespan than other sub-branches of this strong branch. So the necessity of a new look at human resources within the framework of accounting concepts is revealed, to meet the information needs of managers and other users in relation to this strategic resource under a system called human resource accounting. In this chapter, to state the generalities of the research including; We discuss the statement of the problem, the importance and necessity of the research, the goals and questions of the research, the hypotheses and the conceptual model of the research, the scope of the research and the definition of specialized terms. 1-2- Statement of the problem The growth and development of knowledge is formed by the capability of human resources and the valuation, measurement and reporting of human assets are defined in the framework of human resources accounting. By quantifying the value of resources, human resource accounting has improved the efficiency of human resource management and created facilities for the evaluation of personnel policies, and according to the nature of the activities of some organizations and institutions, their use is necessary and necessary and can be used in most knowledge-based organizations. The value of human resources and its ability is considered as one of the main assets of today's organizations. The requirements and axes of development have created a world based on the economy of human society. Unlike in the past, in this economy, knowledge plays a dominant role in the production of wealth. The growth and development of knowledge is formed by human resource capability, and the valuation, measurement of human assets and its reporting are defined in the framework of human resource accounting.By quantifying the value of resources, human resource accounting has improved the efficiency of human resource management and created facilities for personnel policy evaluation, and according to the nature of the activities of some organizations and institutions, its use is necessary and necessary and can be used in most knowledge-based organizations. Numerous researches since the beginning of the issue of human resource accounting in the world indicate that the human resource evaluation system can provide useful information to users. Human resource accounting prepares and provides the information required for selection, growth and improvement, maintenance, exploitation, evaluation and compensation of human resources services. This system is considered as a framework and a tool for HR professionals and managers. In the new management, there is an attempt to value assets and especially human resources. Just as the discussion about the benefits and importance of the financial accounting system as one of the most important management information systems will be a clear explanation, it is also about the importance and role of human resource accounting. Unfortunately, despite the fact that more than half a century has passed since the birth of the human resources accounting system, so far no serious and fundamental movement has been observed in the direction of launching this system in the country or the pathology of not implementing this system. Therefore, what is necessary and important in this regard is to discuss, review and conduct research on the obstacles to establishing this system based on existing concepts and assumptions and choosing the best procedure for valuing human resources in Iran in accordance with the cultural and value structures and existing economic conditions among the many theories.

    The present research aims to take a small step towards solving this problem by identifying the obstacles to the establishment of the human resource accounting system in Iranian companies.

    1-3- Necessity of conducting research

    Many researches since the beginning of the human resource accounting issue in the world indicate that the human resource evaluation system can provide useful information to the users. The human resources accountant prepares and provides the information needed for the selection, growth and improvement, maintenance, exploitation, evaluation and compensation of human resources services. This system should be considered as a framework and tool for human resource professionals and managers. In the new management, there is an attempt to value assets and especially human resources. In this way, in order to keep pace with the developments of the global society and use the opportunities, there is a need to change the attitude in all aspects. Accounting as an information system also needs change and transformation. With this change, the attitude towards assets should change.

    The human resource accounting system, in which the value of human capital is processed and reported, is considered one of the tools and accessories of today's world, with all its shortcomings. Just as the discussion about the benefits and importance of the financial accounting system as one of the most important management information systems will be an explanation of the obvious, addressing the issue of the importance and role of human resources accounting is also of this kind. Unfortunately, despite the fact that more than half a century has passed since the birth of the human resources accounting system, so far no serious and fundamental movement has been observed in the direction of launching this system inside the country or the pathology of its non-implementation. The selected statistical community is also one of the country's large holdings, which operates in two different areas (investment and commerce), but despite the significant amount of financial units and human resources in this collection, it has experienced a very high turnover and fluctuation of human resources in recent years, which indicates the lack of sensitivity necessary to control this process and preserve human resources in this society. Therefore, what is necessary and important in this regard is to discuss and investigate and conduct research on the identification of obstacles to the establishment of this system in Iran.

    1-4- Research objectives:

    Knowing the effect of awareness and sufficient knowledge of the human resources accounting system on the establishment of the human resources accounting system.

    Knowing the effect of the lack of specialized manpower on the establishment of the human resources accounting system.
