Teaching
Our curriculum reflects relevance in business practice and benefits from interactions with corporate professionals. We are committed to enrich student insights in today’s accounting profession leveraging on the use of premium knowledge and business analytics tools.
The Accounting departments feeds two majors in the Programme Grande École (PGE), namely the Audit and Advisory Major and the Financial and Management Control Major. Students who specialize in the Audit and Advisory track often pursue careers in external audit, accounting cabinets and advisory functions. Students in the Financial Management and Control Major typically take up position as financial planning and controller functions in public & private businesses, both in France and abroad.
Next to its specialization in Audit & Advisory and Financial Management and Control for the Grande École Program, the department also offers:
- An apprenticeship program in Audit, Management Control and Corporate Finance (joint with Finance) for students wishing to obtain vast practical knowledge and gaining “hands-on experience” while they continue their studies.
- A CMA-aligned Master in International Accounting, Audit and Control (MIAAC).
The program is completely taught in English and is based on a solid foundation in financial reporting and analysis, in management accounting and decision-making, corporate finance and financial advisory services, thereby preparing candidates for leading roles in these professions.
