More e-learning courses
The partnership with the Conseil Régional de l’Ordre des Experts-Comptables (Regional Council of Chartered Accountants) gives students the opportunity to learn about the accountancy profession, its missions, organisation and rules of behaviour via e-learning, in addition to the core curriculum. This course is part of our students’ participation in the Grand Concours de la Filière Comptable de Lorraine, an annual event that brings together teams from different accountancy training courses in Lorraine to compare their skills and knowledge of the different areas related to public accounting (economics, accounting, law, etc.). As well as being fun and stimulating, the game provides an opportunity to meet the profession.
This same partnership and the participation of a number of regional and national firms should enable Master 1 students to carry out summary activities simulating the creation of complete teaching cases, taking into account in particular the taxation of managers and companies.
