The document summarizes a presentation on the importance of human resource accounting (HRA). It defines HRA as measuring the cost and value of people for an organization. The objectives of HRA include improving management by analyzing HR investments, considering people as assets, attracting and retaining qualified employees, and providing financial profiling of the organization. The importance of HRA is that it enhances decision-making, management quality, and human asset productivity while preventing misuse of resources and developing efficiency, behavior, attitudes, and management principles. However, limitations include a lack of clear procedures for valuing human resources and potential discouragement of lower-valued employees.
