Since 2001, the Australasian Conference on Social and Environmental Accounting Research (paralleling the annual Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR) conferences, held in Scotland) has been organised by Australian Universities. In December 2008 the Australasian Conference will be hosted by the Centre for Accounting, Governance and Sustainability, School of Commerce at The University of South Australia.

The Conference is deliberately an informal gathering of researchers, teachers, students, and practitioners concerned with social and environmental accounting in the very widest sense. Normally limited to a maximum of around 60 delegates, the emphasis is on a high level of interaction, discussion and debate in a friendly, supportive and relaxed atmosphere. Although papers from all areas of social and environmental accounting are welcome a main theme will be ‘Sustainability Accounting – A Question of Management!’ This year’s conference will also include a parallel stream on Environmental Management Accounting supported by the Environmental Management Accounting Network – Global (EMAN AP).

The precise format of the Conference is yet to be finalised. Papers will either be presented in a single session or parallel sessions, depending on demand from registrants and on the papers that are offered.
