A-CSEAR 2024: Creating Communities: Accounting, for, with, to, of, despite, or beyond?

December 4-6, 2024, The University of Canterbury School of Business, Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand

Details HERE

The Early Scholars’ Colloquium will be held on 4 December 2024, followed by the main conference on 5th and 6th December 2024.

This theme is intentionally open-ended and invites 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. The significance of community responses to epic events such as climate change, natural disasters, and military conflict is well documented (Davies, 2012; Vincent, 2023), and the CSEAR community itself has a well-established focus on addressing these urgent concerns (Dillard and Brown, 2012; Gray et al., 2009; Gray et al., 2014; Guthrie and Parker, 2017). Accounting tools and practices may facilitate the accountability of economic entities with a community focus, including cooperatives and credit unions (McKillop and Wilson, 2015), international aid agencies (Denedo et al., 2017), social enterprise (Kay and McMullan, 2017), and non-profits (Chenhall et al., 2010; Kober and Thambar, 2021). The mobilisation of community-based Indigenous accounting practices as forms of social accounting and accountability has further been explored as an alternative to Western models of economic interaction (Finau and Scobie 2022; Jayasinghe and Thomas, 2008, Norris et al., 2022; 2023). Yet while corporate and public sector entities appear increasingly concerned to engage diverse stakeholder perspectives in their reporting, approaches to community engagement have had varying success (Bellucci et al., 2019; Kaur and Qian, 2021; Kaur and Lodhia, 2018). Where tensions emerge between civil society and corporate actors, grassroots movements may take more active approaches to call dominant political and corporate actors to account (George et al., 2023; McLaren and Appleyard, 2021; Scobie et al). Of related concern within the academic literature relates to appropriate methodologies for grassroots engagement, including decolonising methodologies (McNicholas and Barrett, 2005; Smith, 2012) and participatory engagement (Brown and Dillard, 2014; Holdaway 2019), to ensure research projects engage respectfully with community partners. Building on these themes, 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 also welcome other submissions of relevance to the focus of CSEAR.

The 1st Accounting Forum Conference

Conference details: December 11-13, 2024, University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia

Details HERE

Submissions are now open for the inaugural Accounting Forum Conference, December 11-13, 2024, which will be hosted by the University of South Australia (UniSA) Centre for Markets Values and Inclusion. We welcome papers from accounting (and non-accounting) academics from all geographic areas. Accounting Forum publishes authoritative yet accessible articles which advance our knowledge of theory and practice in all areas of accounting and related subjects, and welcomes papers with an interdisciplinary approach in these areas. Through this inaugural conference, we aim to promote greater understanding of the role of business and accounting in the global environment, and provide a forum for the intellectual exchange of academic research covering a range of topical issues and contemporary developments in accounting and accounting-related fields. In line with Accounting Forum’s vision, the theme of this conference is to bring together researchers in accounting and related areas from varying viewpoints, approaches and paradigms; provide a forum for ways we might bridge the gaps in our understanding; and broaden the scope of discussions beyond our own research groups. As such, papers addressing any interesting accounting-related research question, using appropriate research methodologies and research paradigms, are welcomed. Innovative approaches are encouraged.

Attendees will include academics, practitioners and PhD students at all levels of experience, and involved with all aspects of theory and practice in accounting and related disciplines. The conference will be open to submissions from across the broad spectrum of accounting research and will also offer a Special Themed Track which will be the subject of a Special Issue of the journal.

Keynote Speaker

We are delighted to announce that our inaugural plenary keynote speaker will be Dr. Olayinka (Yinka) Moses from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, who will speak on:

"Challenging the divide: Coalescing diverse paradigms in Accounting Research for impact".

Paper submission Full papers for the Main Conference should be submitted through the online submission portal available via the conference submission page of the website. Submissions to the ESC will be made by email. Details can be found on the conference submission page.
