Master Comptabilite-Controle-Audit — M1 Comptabilité Contrôle Audit (PR625)

Tuition is 250 EUR per year.

Comptabilité Contrôle Audit, the M1 track of the Master Comptabilite-Controle-Audit at Université Paris-Saclay in Fontenay Aux Roses, France, trains students in the three interconnected fields named in its title: financial accounting, management control and auditing. Typical subjects include financial and cost accounting, consolidation, corporate finance, management control systems, budgeting, internal and external audit methodology, auditing standards, and increasingly, information systems used in accounting and audit work. Students learn to prepare and analyze financial statements, design and use management control tools such as budgets and dashboards, and apply audit procedures to assess the reliability of financial information. Many programs in this area prepare students, at least partially, for professional accounting and audit qualifications, and often include case studies drawn from real company accounts as well as an internship in an accounting firm, audit firm or corporate finance department. Graduates commonly become accountants, management controllers, internal or external auditors, financial analysts or, after further study, chartered accountants or statutory auditors. Employers include accounting and audit firms, corporate finance departments, and public and private organizations of all sizes. The degree is a master, completed over two years, taught in French, with an inferred September start and a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Because accounting and audit practice in France follows French and European regulatory frameworks, studying this discipline in a French university also gives students a solid grounding in the standards and reporting requirements that apply to companies operating in France, which is valuable both for local careers and for roles involving French subsidiaries of international groups.
