About

The A-CSEAR conference is an important Australasian conference that provides a forum for accounting academics and practitioners to enhance understandings of social and environmental issues, paralleling the annual CSEAR (Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research) conference held in the United Kingdom.

A‐CSEAR aims to foster a supportive and inclusive community of emerging and established scholars undertaking research on social and environmental aspects of accounting and accountability theory and practice.

The annual A‐CSEAR conference provides an international forum in which to showcase this work and to foster much needed interdisciplinary research in accounting.

The conference theme for A-CSEAR 2024 is “Creating Communities: Accounting for, with, to, of, despite, or beyond?”. We invite accounting scholars to consider the multitude of ways in which accounting exists for and with communities, and how communities might be formed and reinforced through processes of accounting. We therefore encourage conceptual, empirical, and creative submissions that consider accounting’s role in enabling, directing, permitting or restricting communities to emerge and thrive.

We look forward to announcing our plenary speakers very soon – watch this space for exciting updates!

Registration details coming soon. 

All rates include the conference dinner on 5 December 2024.

We are pleased to invite submissions for the Early Scholar Colloquium (ESC) – a one-day event for emerging scholars working in the social and environmental accounting space.

This year’s colloquium will take place in-person on 4 December 2024, immediately preceding the main conference.

Travel scholarships are available for the ESC. Full details here.

Participants of the ESC also have the opportunity to join the conference after the colloquium.

The aim of the colloquium is to provide an opportunity for emerging scholars in social and environmental accounting and accountability research to present and discuss their research projects with established academics. The colloquium will be relatively informal with the aim of promoting engaging discourse.
