Master Comptabilite-Controle-Audit — Comptabilité, contrôle, audit (CCA)

Tuition comes to 250 EUR per year.

Comptabilité, contrôle, audit (CCA), part of the Master Comptabilite-Controle-Audit at Aix-Marseille Université in Marseille, France, covers the disciplines of accounting, management control, and auditing. This area of study trains students to record, analyze, and verify the financial information that organizations produce. Typical subjects include financial accounting and reporting standards, cost accounting and management control systems, corporate finance, auditing methodology, and the legal and regulatory framework surrounding financial statements. Students also generally study information systems used in accounting and the ethical and professional standards that govern the audit profession. This kind of training is a common route into accounting and finance careers, including roles as accountant, management controller, internal or external auditor, and financial analyst. Many graduates go on to work within accounting and audit firms, corporate finance departments, or as consultants advising organizations on financial reporting and internal control. In France, this academic path is also frequently used as preparation for further professional accounting qualifications, since it builds the technical accounting and audit knowledge those qualifications require. The program is offered at the master's level over two years, beginning in September, with courses taught in French. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Students entering this field should expect coursework that combines quantitative rigor in financial analysis with an understanding of the legal and regulatory environment in which accounting and auditing operate, since both are central to the profession.

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.
