Teaching Philosophy

In our teaching, the communication between companies and external stakeholders, as well as the independent audit of that communication, takes center stage, in line with the motto “Accounting is the Language of Business.” Financial reporting creates transparency, enables comparability, and provides the basis for well-informed economic decisions—both within companies and for external stakeholders. Our teaching focuses on representing economic reality in financial figures and critically evaluating this information, particularly through the preparation, analysis, and auditing of annual and consolidated financial statements. At the same time, sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly important. We therefore also address the collection, reporting, and assurance of non-financial information. Our aim is to provide students not only with methodological knowledge but also with a critical understanding of the importance of financial reporting and auditing. After all, those who understand the “language of business” are better equipped to analyze, question, and actively shape economic relationships.
