On Monday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Caroline Schad (our former Master’s student) and Thomas Gommel from Horváth, a leading management consultancy, to our lecture Internes Rechnungswesen (Cost Accounting). Under the title "Controller as Corporate Performance Managers", Caro and Thomas gave the students interesting insights into the areas of performance management, the role of the controller, the importance of cost accounting for firms, and future trends and the impact of AI in controlling. We learned and took away a lot, and are always very happy about bridging research and practice. Thanks also to our students, who actively participated in the discussion.
We are already looking forward to our next exchange!
