Major Controlling & Accounting
Students in the Controlling & Accounting major deal with national and international accounting standards in Financial Accounting and Reporting. This lays the foundation for a later career in finance and accounting or auditing. Management Accounting and Controlling focuses on the instruments that can be used to provide effective management information in companies. Controlling thus makes an important contribution to strategy development and implementation. Effective budgeting, correct investment decisions, meaningful key figures and risk management are essential for both SMEs and large international corporations. An in-depth understanding of processes and business models is necessary for the successful use of these tools. In addition, digitalisation is influencing both business models and the activities of controllers. This major prepares students specifically for these challenges.
