Welcome to the homepage of the Chair of Finance and Controlling! In teaching and research, we analyze how controlling supports a company's management in steering processes in the performance and financial areas. We consider not only economic but also ecological and social objectives. This internationally oriented block course provides a thorough examination of corporate valuation based on discounted cash flow methods. Special focus is placed on considering personal taxes and the effects of different financing strategies in the two-phase model. The course is aimed at advanced master's and doctoral students from ELIGHT partner universities. In internationally composed groups, practical case studies are worked on with Excel and solutions are developed together. In addition to specialized knowledge, the seminar specifically promotes analytical and intercultural competencies. The "Accounting and Finance Analytics" module provides comprehensive knowledge in the use of modern analysis tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Excel, simulations, and SAP for solving practical controlling and valuation issues. In realistic case studies, students apply their knowledge directly and independently develop analytical solution approaches, which are finally presented as scientific posters. Additionally, external appointments at Deloitte in Hanover take place, where the practical application of the tools in a corporate context is deepened. Our courses consistently connect topics from financial controlling with the dimensions of sustainability – economy, ecology, and social aspects. Students analyze business administration content from a sustainable perspective. In the modules "Sustainability Management and Controlling" and "Finance and Sustainability Controlling", they learn the conception and application of sustainability-oriented controlling instruments.
