Upon completion, students will receive the official master’s degree title in Financial Auditing and Accounting from Abat Oliba CEU University.
This master's degree is unquestionably a boost to your career prospects, given the wide variety of subjects it covers and the broad spectrum covered by auditing. Auditors not only review accounts in order to verify compliance with accounting regulations, but also make a judgement as to the company's financial and economic status. As a result, you will need an in-depth knowledge of businesses.
In order for business activities to function correctly, auditors, whose role is of public interest, as established by the European Commission, are essential.
In order to carry out their work, auditors require broad, comprehensive training, but also a high level of ethical dedication, enabling them to express an opinion on the company in question and its economic and financial reality, a key aspect of decision making.
This official master's degree in Financial Auditing and Accounting aims to expand and build on the generally limited knowledge of accounting taught in Business Administration and Management degrees and similar, equipping master’s students with advanced skills in the highly specialised field of financial auditing.
This knowledge is then applied as we analyse and solve practical cases and situations similar to those that may arise in the workplace. In order to achieve this, our methodology focuses on participation to explore cases that deal with actual situations that come up at companies, as well as an end-of-year project that aims to develop your capacity to systematise the elements seen throughout the subjects, while learning how to analyse and communicate them in the most successful way possible.
Upon completion of this programme, students will be able to apply the knowledge gained autonomously and continuously in their professional activity as accounts auditors as well as in other positions related to the field of accounting.
