Management Accounting and Control
Management accounting – also known as management control – is one of the classical and most fundamental aspects of business administration. We aim at developing management technologies and test theories within production, reporting, analysis and managerial use of financial as well as non-financial information that can:
- Be used for communicating financial events in the organisation;
- Influence decisions on resource allocation;
- Influence the management of the organisation and improve the insight and feedback.
The programme provides you with in-depth knowledge of:
- the classical foundation of management accounting;
- the use and application of information technology; and
- the development of modern management accounting practices.
The Management Accounting and Controlling programme provides you with professional qualifications and competences that mirror and sum up the knowledge, understanding and skills acquired through the prerequisite courses, specialisation courses and electives. The main objective of the programme is to convey professional qualifications and competencies which you can apply in your professional life and in your future career.
Today we see increased decentralisation of corporate financial data and financial management, and it has therefore become even more important for the controller to find and process relevant information in a qualified way. In many job profiles words like analytical skills, communication ability and a good knowledge of different IT-systems e.g. excel, SAP, etc. are necessary.
When you have earned the degree, your career opportunities will be numerous, for example:
- Different types of controller e.g., business controller, project controller, concern or global controller, and financial controller, and both within the private sector as well as within the non-profit and the public sector;
- Chief Financial Officer;
- Consultant and advisor roles- in both Danish and international corporations;
- Top-management positions, CEO etc.
- Various roles in start-up companies
- Head of department
- IT and business consultant
- PhD student, researcher
The Department of Management has a strong management accounting research group attached to the MAC programme.
