Saarland University again recognized as one of the top universities in auditing

The following text has been machine translated from the German with no human editing.

The university ranking by Manager Magazin and the Scientific Society for Management and Consulting (WGMB) has once again identified the best universities for the subject of auditing. To this end, the opinions of more than 80 audit firms and around 1,700 of their clients were sought. Respondents were able to evaluate all departments listed in the Chamber of Public Accountants' current study guide; they were also free to add further universities.

'At Saarland University, the close integration of theory and practice-oriented application is at the heart of our teaching,' emphasises Michael Olbrich, Director of the Institute of Auditing. "Our degree programmes provide students with a comprehensive theoretical and methodological foundation that enables them to confidently tackle both traditional issues in auditing and public accounting as well as current challenges such as sustainability reporting or the use of artificial intelligence. In doing so, we place particular emphasis on fostering analytical skills, critical thinking and a reflective approach to complex economic contexts. The basis for this is, in particular, our wide-ranging normative research in the fields of accounting, auditing and business valuation, the results of which we continuously incorporate into our teaching. We are convinced

that, in this way, we provide our graduates with the best possible preparation for the constantly evolving demands of the auditing profession. "We see the repeated recognition from audit firms and clients, which is also reflected in relevant rankings, as both confirmation and a call from the professional world to consistently further develop our successful approach," says Professor Olbrich.

At Saarland University, students on the Master's programmes in Business Administration can choose the 'Auditing' specialisation (www.uni-saarland.de/iwp ).
