Accounting and Control Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Overview

In the Accounting and Control programme offered by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam you’ll look at the financial information required to run any organisation, and the information flow needed for managers to make business decisions. And of course accounting and control are key elements here: you’ll learn how to produce the relevant analyses and reports, use the right data for that purpose, apply monitoring and reporting to make sure that organisations are in-control and achieve the best possible performance.

Entering the job market

Around 50% of programme graduates start their career in one of the Big Four or other audit firms. Some of these continue a career in auditing, while others use their audit experience to become business controllers at corporations, smaller companies or government institutions.  Many other students embark on a career in controlling right from the start. Roles at the Dutch Central Bank or tax authorities are also often filled by our graduates. And some graduates even go into financial journalism or work in the non-profit sector. Throughout your programme, SBE Career Services supports you with your career preparations.
