CSEAR Blog

CSEAR is delighted to announce the first call for papers for the 32nd CSEAR International Congress at the University of St Andrews from 23-25 August 2022.

Join colleagues in this forum for scholarly work in various stages of development and explicitly encourages open discussion as well as close collegiality.

We are delighted to announce that the confirmed plenary conference speaker is Professor Laura Spence from Royal Holloway, University of London.

You are invited to the annual Accounting, Society, and the Environment (ASE) Research workshop, which will be held on Thursday 28th April 2022. The theme of this year’s workshop is ‘The road to recovery: sustainability imperatives and the reshaping of public finance and accounting in the post-pandemic world’. The plenary speaker for the workshop is distinguished Professor Lee Parker from RMIT.

The workshop has an associated special issue of British Accounting Review and workshop participants will be especially encouraged to submit their papers.

In this blog, social value expert (and optimist) Jeremy Nicholls responds to the recent Reith lecturesdelivered by former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney – and asks how eminent economists can explore new notions of ‘value’ while apparently ignoring the fundamental role of accounting.
