Training Objectives

In light of the changes and transformations taking place in the financial and accounting sector in Algeria, and with the introduction of a new accounting system, “SCF,” starting in 2010, which will integrate and unify the financial and accounting functions within organizations, it was necessary to establish a new specialization that allows students to understand and control both functions simultaneously. This is essential to keep up with the developments resulting from the implementation of the new financial and accounting system. The training in this specialization aims primarily to provide students with theoretical and applied knowledge, which can be summarized as follows:
