Department of Accounting/ARCA
Our group is active in the areas of both managerial and financial accounting, management control, auditing, risk management, public sector accounting, compliance, and corporate law, among others. In February 2022, our department received the AACSB Accounting accreditation.
Education
We teach courses in all the bachelor programmes of the School of Business and Economics, and the master's programme in Business Administration. In addition, we are responsible for the master's programme in Accounting and Control, which prepares students for professional positions in accounting, finance, auditing, and related areas. Students can opt for the full-time or the part-time programme. The part-time programme is combined with the postgraduate Certified Public Accountant (CPA) programme. The department is also directly involved in various postgraduate programmes and courses.
