Accounting, Consulting, Audit: the new specialisation of our Master in Management
Rigour, precision, analytical thinking: finance and accounting careers are attracting more and more young talents in search of meaning and responsibility. To meet this aspiration, EDC Paris is launching a new Accounting – Consulting – Audit (CCA) specialisation within its Master in Management.
The specialisation is delivered on a work-study basis.
What is the Master in Management?
The EDC Paris Master in Management supports students in building a complete pathway, combining academic excellence, work experience and an international outlook. Over five years, it trains agile managers with a strong business culture.
From the 4th year, students can choose a specialisation in line with their career ambitions and the needs of the market.
The Accounting – Consulting – Audit (CCA) specialisation provides targeted preparation for careers in corporate finance and chartered accountancy. It is also a genuine springboard to the Diplôme Supérieur de Comptabilité et de Gestion (DSCG), recognised for its value on the job market.
What is the difference between a master’s degree specialising in CCA and a Master of Science in Finance?
The fundamental difference lies in the recognition of the degree. While a master’s degree (grade de master) offers the highest level of recognition, the MSc is aimed more at a technical specialisation that will be specifically sought after in certain sectors or for certain professions.
The primary purpose of the CCA specialisation in our Master in Management is to prepare students for the DSCG. The curriculum is built to prepare you to obtain this qualification. Our MSc in Audit and Management Control and our MSc in Finance steer you towards operational roles in companies directly after you finish your studies, without a DSCG being necessary.
A response to the growing needs of the sector
This Accounting – Consulting – Audit (CCA) specialisation comes at a time of strong demand on the job market. Accounting firms, audit firms and finance departments are looking for job-ready young graduates with a solid technical foundation and a strategic view of financial issues.
By launching this specialisation, EDC Paris responds directly to these needs, while giving its students the opportunity to position themselves for high value-added careers.
A springboard to the DSCG
The CCA specialisation enables students to train for the main careers in corporate finance, chartered accountancy and audit.
Its objective: to provide a foundation of solid skills that can be put to use immediately on the job market.
The pathway covers all the fundamentals: financial and advanced accounting, management control, statutory audit, company law and taxation. It also prepares students for the methods of analysing and steering financial performance, which are essential in any management or consulting role.
Designed in close connection with the requirements of the Diplôme Supérieur de Comptabilité et de Gestion (DSCG), this specialisation offers targeted preparation for this benchmark examination. The teaching is aligned with the main tests of the diploma and delivered by academic researchers and industry professionals, enabling students to picture themselves concretely in their future responsibilities.
The master’s programme will give exemptions from certain DSCG course units, which is an undeniable asset and a clear advantage over the other specialisations.
The teaching favours an applied approach, based on real case studies, audit simulations and role-plays inspired by the professional world.
Personalised support, methodological rigour and the environment of excellence at EDC Paris make this specialisation a genuine career accelerator for students wishing to pursue careers in finance and accounting.
