Research

For the Center for Accounting & Controlling, applied research and development are of central importance. We therefore seek active collaboration with private and public organizations to successfully carry out joint projects and studies. The associated knowledge transfer serves the mutual benefit of our business partners and ourselves. This collaboration not only allows us to transfer the latest scientific findings into business practice, but also to recognize current developments in practice and to incorporate them into teaching and research. In this context, the spectrum of expectations of our students, the requirements of business practice and the quality standards we set for ourselves are a constant challenge for the Center and its employees.
