Information is at the heart of the decision-making process. Skills in financial accounting, management accounting and management control enable you to acquire an economic understanding of a company's activity and performance, as well as a good grasp of the issues related to this information.

The CFO programme is designed to enable you to understand the information produced by organisations (companies, groups and also associations), i.e. to present the conditions under which this information is produced, controlled, communicated, analysed and used. This understanding of the economic approach to organisations must then be related to managerial and operational practices.

The curriculum offers a solid foundation of skills (four compulsory courses) and the opportunity to tailor the programme to your interests by choosing two optional courses from a total of ten.

The aim is to prepare you for careers in financial communication within listed companies, financial analysis, auditing and statutory auditing, management control or organisational structuring (project management, internal control, organisational consultancy).

This track is a partnership with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and gives exemptions for the CIMA Professional Qualification.

CSR/Sustainability has become a major issue for companies today. This trend seems not to fade away: UN Global Compact now boasts more than 1200 signing companies only in France, while most large companies worldwide today present some kind of environmental / social communication to their stakeholders. Today, the global deployment of ISO 26000, the rise of Sustainability reporting and the increased popularity of Socially Responsible Investing make CSR an attractive field of professional specialization. This track provides students with a pedagogical pathway that prepares them to enter to this new and growing area.
