Serious games need good scorekeeping. To survive and to succeed, all organizations need reliable systems for generating financial information that is relevant to managers, investors and other stakeholders. Even if accounting and control are not the most glamorous aspects of business, they are indispensable. Designing, operating and auditing financial reporting systems for complex organizations is a challenge for the finest minds, and requires a much broader range of skills than the ability to add and subtract. 

The Accounting and Control programme draws on the strengths of VU University Amsterdam both as one of the major providers of postgraduate professional education in accountancy and as an established research university. With an international outlook, strong academic core, and openness to the world of practice, the programme is an effective starting point in your development as a professional auditor, preparer, or user auditor of financial information, and a gateway to further specialized training. 

The programme will give you a solid basis for pursuing a career in accounting and control. The programme is designed in particular for students aiming for positions as controller or financial manager in major organizations, as well as for those who seek to work as a public or internal  auditor.
