About Msc Management Control And Reporting in KEDGE Business School

The master's degree in management control, Management Control and Reporting, from KEDGE prepares students for a profession that has become central. At a time when companies must decide more and more quickly and communicate in a systematic and transparent manner, the management controller occupies a strategic role. The CSR orientation and teaching provided 50% by professionals characterize this program.

Performance is no longer solely financial. Today when we talk about global performance, triple bottom-line or performance in 3 P's (People, Planet, Profit), the only financial evaluation tools are no longer suitable.

New systems have been added to the traditional management control that KEDGE's master management control integrates, such as activity-based costing, activity-based management, target costing, strategic cost management or balanced scorecard. Some large companies create departments dedicated to CSR, often entrusted to management control for its cross-functional knowledge of the activity and its ability to produce strategic information.

In this environment where change is a necessity, the role of the management controller is essential. He is the architect of a performance evaluation and management system whose aim is to produce enlightening and reliable indicators to facilitate the implementation of strategies and prepare for change.
