Monash Business School looks forward to welcoming you to the 24th Australasian Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (A-CSEAR) Conference and Emerging Scholars’ Colloquium here in Melbourne (Naarm), Australia. The main conference will be held over three days from 3–5 December 2025, and the Emerging Scholars’ Colloquium will be held on Wednesday 3 December 2025. Our theme for 2025 is Rewilding accounting research, education, and practice.

The Australasian Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (A-CSEAR) fosters a supportive and inclusive community of emerging and established scholars investigating research on the social and environmental aspects of accounting 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 A-CSEAR community is a vibrant and diverse group committed to the free exchange of ideas, rigorous debate and support for the growing of research collaborations and opportunities within social and environmental accounting and governance.
