Programme overview

This programme is designed to help participants develop an in-depth understanding of auditing, management control and information systems. It provides students with a range of knowledge, tools and skills and the ability to use them in a variety of operational and entrepreneurial situations to become responsible managers.

The MSc looks at how digital transformation is changing the finance function by using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve performance through technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA) and chatbots. This disruption also helps to rethink internal processes and people management and to develop analytical reasoning which are essential skillsets needed to find solutions to real life problems.

In addition, the programme supports and encourages students to develop their individual managerial and research capabilities to become key actors of change for their companies, profession, and the global business environment.

    • Preparation for internationally recognised certifications: CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting (CIMA Adv Dip MA), Microsoft Power platform (Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Agents), Microsoft Azur and SAP 
    • Lectures delivered mainly by international experts
    • Transdisciplinary projects
    • Immediate practical application of the knowledge, tools and skills thanks to the educational rhythm: one intense Fall semester of lectures (from September to December), followed by up to six months of internship (from January until June) in-line with industry requirements, during this second period a certain amount of online and classroom courses will also need to be completed. The spring term which includes these courses, will continue until mid-July
    • Links with professional bodies and research, at national and international level (CIMA, IFACI, DFCG, APDC…)

    SKEMA places importance on artificial intelligence in courses. In our MSc programmes, we use the Microsoft PowerPlatform suite with a "low code or no code" use of AI tools.

    • Preparation of management accounts
    • Planning, budgeting, and forecasting for decision-making purposes
    • Product and service costing
    • Management of working capital
    • Balanced scorecards within Microsoft Power BI (business intelligence)
    • Robotic process automation (RPA) in accounting and audit
    • Accounting and management accounting 'serious game'
    • Innovation management and design thinking
