Master Comptabilité-Contrôle-Audit, offered in French by the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers in Paris, France, is a two-year master's program covering the core disciplines of accounting, management control, and auditing. Known in France by the abbreviation CCA, this field trains students in the technical and regulatory content that underpins financial reporting and oversight within organizations. Coursework typically covers financial and cost accounting, consolidation of accounts, corporate finance, tax law, and audit methodology, alongside management control systems and performance measurement techniques used by organizations to track their financial and operational results. The program generally addresses the standards for financial reporting and the legal framework governing statutory audits in France, combining lectures with case studies analyzing company accounts and training in the information systems used in accounting and audit practice. Many programs in this field are structured to align with the pathway toward French professional accounting and audit qualifications, and often include a work-study arrangement or internship with an accounting firm or a company's finance department, which suits students balancing study with professional experience. Graduates typically pursue careers as accountants, auditors, management controllers, or financial analysts, working within accounting and audit firms, corporate finance departments, or as internal auditors for larger organizations, often continuing on to complete further professional accounting qualifications after finishing the master's degree. Instruction for this program is delivered in French, so applicants should be prepared for coursework, case studies, and examinations conducted in that language. The program begins in September and spans two years, leading to a master's degree. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Paris hosts a large concentration of accounting and audit firms and corporate finance departments relevant to internships and career opportunities in this field.
