Master in International Accounting, Audit & Control

Before coming to France, I completed a Bachelor's in Commerce at Loyola college in Chennai.

I was particularly attracted to IÉSEG because it was one of the few Schools/universities I was looking at that offered a curriculum specifically tailored for audit and accountancy. One of the best elements for me has been the cultural diversity of the students here at IÉSEG, which was important as I was looking for a very different experience from studying in India.

The courses and teaching methods have also been great. For example, the business game was very interactive and fun but also competitive, integrating different elements of conducting real-life business. After graduating, I’m planning to become a certified auditor.

After earning a Bachelor in International Business from a Canadian university, I worked for a year as an Accounting Assistant and Financial Administrator at a large university. I was attracted to IÉSEG because of its reputation and because of the format and content of the Master in Accounting, Audit and Control. The program is entirely taught in English and provides me with the ability to finish my degree in just a year, allowing my fast return to the workforce to kick start my career. Furthermore, it has built in French classes which enable me to develop my French language skills.

Out of all the programs I considered, the MAAC was the only one which offered Forensic Accounting as part of the curriculum. It also has built in preparation courses for the CMA certification. The fact that the program has a compulsory internship (instead of a master thesis) is also a major advantage.

Firstly, I chose IÉSEG because it was the best option for me in terms of time, the courses provided, the amazing international environment and my personal budget.

I chose the Master in International Accounting, Audit and Control because I was looking for more knowledge regarding my professional background in accounting and wanted to develop a specialization in this in order to take forward my professional career.

My favorite courses in the program were the ones that gave us an essential understanding of the most important topics in audit and accounting, such as: Audit Techniques, CMA, Financial accounting, Financial Reporting & Analysis 1, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Risk Management, etc.

"If you’re thinking of pursuing an Master in Accounting in France, IÉSEG is definitely one to apply for. The program is tailored to comply with the prerequisites of international accounting bodies, ensuring that you make a smooth transition to your professional life. The application process is very easy and quick, and the admissions staff is more than happy to help you out if you have any problems."
