Skills to be acquired in this module
By the end of the course students should develop and understand the basic concepts, analytical techniques, instruments and systems to control sustainable corporate success. The students further identify the theoretical background of corporate governance and how corporate governance mechanisms work. Moreover, they develop an up-to-date and mainly practitioner-oriented profile of corporate governance and control systems. They are aware of a controller’s relevance as a corporate conscience and the meaning of controlling as a corporate service. In addition, students identify strategic, operational and department-specific characteristics of corporate control. They argue how to ensure the quality of data and the development of decision-making relevant information. Paper discussions further complement the students’ profile by highlighting current and special issues in the field of corporate governance and control. In summary, students link economic, methodological, and cultural aspects to their personal profile and assess whether an activity as a controller fits to their personal plan for future employment. They further strengthen their ability to develop sustainable solutions for comprehensive and specific economic issues.
