The Social Accounting and Accountability Research Centre (SAARC) and the School of Accounting and Finance are hosting the 11th Australasian Conference on Social and Environmental Accounting Research (A-CSEAR) Conference from 2-4th December 2012. The theme this year is “People & Place” and reflects the importance of recognising the impact of organisational practices on both human and environmental existence and thereby the significance of giving voice to both people & place in the context of social & environmental reporting.
