Based at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, CSEAR's primary objective is to gather and make available information about the practice and theory of social and environmental accounting and reporting.
In doing so, CSEAR's international network supports students, practitioners, scholars and educationalists in all aspects of the education, research and practice of social, environmental and sustainability accounting, reporting, auditing, finance and taxation.
As a network institution, CSEAR provides a database of academics and practitioners around the world who share an interest in social and environmental accounting.
CSEAR also regularly organises research schools and conferences in Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Portugal.
Next to keeping its readers informed about developments in CSEAR and relevant developments in the field and in practice, SEAJ includes extensive reviews of recent books and journal articles of relevance to researchers, practitioners and students in the field.
