In the course of performing its educational, scientific and research tasks the Department of Accountancy, due to being part of a university of applied sciences, adopted a practice-oriented perception focusing on the teaching of theoretically grounded knowledge and the research behind it that can be used in business. 

The overwhelming majority of the Department are acknowledged professional experts, and more than half have scientific degrees, thus providing a solid foundation for the practice-oriented, market-based, yet scientifically sound educational work. Guest lecturers provide an excellent opportunity for the students to see outstanding examples from the business world, as our guest lecturers are recognized and prominent representatives of their profession.

The Department has a decades-long history of teaching and developing practical, yet scientifically grounded course materials in the fields of accounting, analysis, monitoring, planning, and controlling. The research fields of the Department include almost all aspects of accountancy and controlling and the related disciplines, including current international accounting, analysis, corporate auditing, auditing, cost-accounting, digitization, and ethical issues.
