Activities
As a network institution, CSEAR provides a database of academics and practitioners around the world who share an interest in social and environmental accounting. For more than ten years, CSEAR has been holding the annual International Congress on Social and Environmental Accounting (also known as CSEAR Summer School). CSEAR also regularly organises research schools and conferences in Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Portugal. The first North American Congress was held from 7–9 July 2008 at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. A South America Congress was scheduled to be held in Brazil in 2009. CSEAR also maintains a specialist library within the University of St Andrews' School of Management.''Social and Environmental Accounting Journal''
The Centre publishes a biannual journal, the ''Social and Environmental Accounting Journal'' (SEAJ), which is distributed free to its members. ''SEAJ'' is a 'predominantly refereed journal committed to the creation of a new academic literature in the broad field of social, environmental and sustainable development accounting, accountability, reporting and auditing'. 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. ''SEAJ'' is managed by an Executive Editorial Board which provides support to the editors and is underpinned by an International Editorial Advisory Board.History
