The primary goal of the “Law, Accounting, Auditing and Finance” (DCF) teaching and research department is to offer specialized and up-to-date academic content in different disciplines that are essential in the education of future innovative managers. It effectively meets the specific needs of students seeking careers in these demanding fields that are in high demand in companies, particularly through specializations with high added value. Furthermore, an understanding of finance, accounting and law provides a fundamental knowledge base that enables young managers to understand their business environment and the dynamics of their company or institution, regardless of the sector, size or geographical location.

There are 26 professors and 2 research assistants in the department.

The Law, Accounting, Auditing and Finance (DCF) teaching and research department also plays an active role in the creation of knowledge by contributing to multidisciplinary research projects. This research is the subject of presentations at international academic conferences and publications in respected peer-reviewed journals. It is particularly focused on mechanisms of corporate finance, venture capital, real options, mimicry in financial markets and IFRS.

The Law, Accounting, Auditing and Finance (DCF) teaching and research department thus guarantees the professionalization of students at the Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School by establishing a balance between the transmission of knowledge and of know-how. Course content is based on both academic research and evolving business practices. Our students also benefit from different tools available through the program, such as e-learning and e-books, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to study in the best possible conditions. In addition, the innovative and proactive teaching methods used in the department make the learning process more dynamic and strengthen the impact and quality of student-teacher interactions.

Our students benefit from the support of faculty and administrative staff in the DCF department, helping them successfully enter the profession, both during their studies and at the beginning of their careers (the search for internships, cooperative education contracts, resume writing, interview preparation, etc.). The department is made up of a team of about forty people (including fifteen tenured professors and a dozen adjunct professors).

Finally, above and beyond the highly technical and/or quantitative nature of our disciplines, which may sometimes seem to encourage conformity, we feel it is essential for our students to develop a critical yet constructive vision. We encourage them to play a leading role in the wide range of activities and careers in our field, particularly by proposing innovative methods or products when it seems appropriate. This requires showing respect and consideration for established methods and procedures in addition to the conviction necessary for building support for innovative approaches.

Aware of their environment and respectful of issues of sustainable development and social responsibility in businesses, our students are thus able to participate in rehabilitating the fields of finance, accounting and law, which are all too often marred by unfortunate excesses. The drive for efficiency and results is thus coupled with dedication to ethical and responsible conduct. The two are not seen as mutually exclusive but rather inseparable through a perspective of sustainable performance, serving the interests of both businesses and society.
