Openings

Management controller, management control manager, budget controller, financial controller

Long confined to the simple exploitation of figures and tables, management controllers have seen their responsibilities extended to other areas. They now make regular use of management information and decision support systems and are involved in their conception and implementation. They play a role in the strategic approach, intervene in the management cycle and participate in the elaboration of internal control procedures. The use of accounting and financial data is no longer sufficient for global performance management. Social and environmental performance, quality control as well as knowledge management are at the heart of their work.

Planner, strategic planner, project manager

These have become essential functions for the smooth running of firms. Planners as described by Mintzberg, act as detectors of emerging strategies, catalysts for strategy formation and analysts of proposed strategies. Their role is to plan strategies and communicate them internally and externally. Their objectives are to coordinate actions and men and to make sure that the future is systematically taken into account.


Risk manager, internal auditor, management analyst

These are rapidly developing functions and specializations. Risk management is a guarantee of the continued existence of a company and of its development. It is systematically taken into account in the senior management’s decisional process, hence the importance of developing an organized identification, analysis, hierarchization and risk treatment approach. This approach should lead to the implementation of an internal control system allowing mastery of the organization and performance improvement.
