Accounting and Governance: for a sustainable future

The new Master's Degree in Accounting, Governance and Sustainability provided in English
Ams

Accounting, Governance, and Sustainability (AGS) are the keywords of the new master’s degree offered by the Department of Management.
The need for a transition toward sustainable socio-economic systems is driving many national and international policy makers (some examples are the 2030 Agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs, the European Green Deal and the Next Generation EU plans). Companies play a leading role in this transition and  may have to rethink their business fairly radically.
The Accounting, Governance, and Sustainability master’s degree offers advanced training in governance and accounting issues for international companies. AGS has a primary focus on sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

AGS arises from a previous English curriculum of a master’s degree of the Department of Management. The new AGS provides renewed and up-dated contents, with two curricula focused on different professional skills:

a. Accounting for International Business (AIB)

b. Accounting and Governance for Sustainability (AG4S)

The first curriculum trains students who intend to operate in the accounting, auditing, control, and business consulting for international companies.    
The second curriculum aims to train experts in sustainability governance, risk assessment and management, accounting and reporting.
