ABOUT
Rigour, precision, analytical skills: careers in finance are attracting more and more young talent seeking meaning, responsibility and expertise. To meet these expectations, EDC Paris is launching a new specialisation in Accounting, Consulting and Auditing (CCA) as part of its Grande École Programme.
The primary purpose of the CCA specialisation within the Grande École Programme is to prepare students for the Higher Diploma in Accounting and Management (DSCG). The structure and educational content of the programme are specifically designed to help students obtain this demanding diploma, which is an essential benchmark in the fields of accounting, auditing and consulting.
Unlike this specialisation, our Audit, Control and Performance and Finance specialisations are geared towards direct entry into the workforce upon graduation, without the need to pass the DSCG. The CCA specialisation is therefore aimed at students who wish to pursue a demanding academic path, paving the way for careers in accounting, auditing and financial consulting.
Why choose the Accounting, Consulting and Auditing specialisation?
Choosing the Accounting, Consulting and Auditing (CCA) specialisation means choosing a demanding and structured course of study at the heart of the accounting and financial performance professions.
Targeted preparation for the DSCG
The CCA specialisation is specifically designed to prepare students for the Higher Diploma in Accounting and Management (DSCG). The courses cover the key units of the diploma and enable students to acquire the technical skills required in the accounting, auditing and consulting professions.
Expertise sought after by companies
Rigour, financial analysis, mastery of accounting standards and consulting skills: this specialisation develops skills that are highly valued by audit and consulting firms and finance departments.
A demanding and recognised programme
The CCA specialisation is aimed at students wishing to progress to positions of high responsibility, with a high level of academic and professional requirements, paving the way for careers in accounting and auditing.
Training at the crossroads of technical expertise and consulting
Beyond accounting skills, the specialisation emphasises consulting, the analysis of complex situations and decision support, which are key skills in today's professional environments.
Who is this specialisation for?
The Accounting, Consulting and Auditing (CCA) specialisation is for students who wish to pursue careers in accounting, auditing and financial consulting.
It is particularly suited to those who:
· those attracted to accounting, finance and law,
· those who demonstrate rigour, precision and analytical skills,
· those wishing to embark on a demanding academic course in preparation for the DSCG (Diplôme Supérieur de Comptabilité et de Gestion),
· those wishing to eventually move into roles such as auditor, financial consultant, chartered accountant or financial management positions.
This specialisation is suitable for students who are motivated to work in depth on standards, methods and financial analysis, and who are looking for structured training that opens up long-term and progressive career prospects.
