About
The A-CSEAR conference is an important Australasian conference that provides a forum for accounting academics and practitioners to enhance understanding 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 the 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.

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 6 December 2023, immediately preceding the main conference.
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 (SEA) to present and discuss their research projects with established academics. The colloquium will be relatively informal with the aim of promoting engaging discourse.
