The Sprott School of Business at Carleton University will host the 10th North American Conference of the Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR NA) on June 22–23, 2026, bringing together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to explore pressing issues in sustainability, society, and accounting. As part of a leading global research network, the conference will showcase innovative, peer-reviewed work on topics such as biodiversity, climate disclosure, Indigenous accountability, and emerging approaches to sustainability accounting.
