Public Accounting – On Campus

The Public Accounting Program of the Maria Cano University Foundation considers accounting as the social science in charge of supporting transactions between natural and legal individuals. It allows this program to be approached from two aspects: its material and formal object. The material object is related to other areas of knowledge such as economics, finances and engineering. On the other hand, the formal object is focused on the administration of resources for the generation, proper management and distribution of wealth that organizations have by promoting an environment of trust in the different interest groups through the efficient management of resources and wealth, and the control of the operations carried out with these.

The public accountant of the Maria Cano University Foundation is prepared to respond to social and organizational needs framed in sustainability, transparency and the generation of shared value, local and international regulations, in environments of change and uncertainty. In this way, the curriculum is organized with emphasis on the financial area, control and assurance, costs and tax management, which are aspects of the public accountant performance, articulated with other areas of knowledge to develop in the students the critical sense towards the solution of problems in their environment. In addition, there are other courses that develop the soft skills necessary in today’s professionals which will strengthen the professional development of the accountant, facing the needs of society and organizations today.

The Maria Cano University Foundation offers to the future professionals in Public Accounting the possibility of transforming their capabilities for strategic decision making in public and private organizations, in relation to finance and accounting management, with a clear orientation towards social responsibility and the solution of organizational problems in a creative and innovative way that allows them to respond to the needs of companies in a highly changing, complex and globalized environment.
