Ernst & Young ‘s mission statement is “quality is everything we do”. That quality is not only seen in the service provided but also in the skills and know-how of its employees. The company puts a very strong emphasis on continuous development of its staff, as it constantly looks for innovative solutions for its clients. Professional and skilled workers are very difficult to come by these days, which is why fourteen years ago Ernst & Young opened the Academy of Business. The Academy is present in cities like Moscow, St.Petersburg and Kyiv. Now the Academy will be present in Warsaw at the Warsaw School of Economics. The programme offered by the Academy of Business at the Warsaw School of Economics is a post-graduate course conducted both by the school’s academics and professional trainers from Ernst & Young. The programme focuses mainly on finance. It is a case-study based syllabus giving hands-on experience of working with financial issues. Candidates who wish to participate in the course need to have a good command of English as the lectures and workshops will be held in English. The candidate should also hold a Master’s degree in any faculty and have at least one year of practical experience in middle management level. The fee for the course is a mere 9000 Euro, payable in two installments. Participating in such a course has many advantages. Firstly, it is a way into the world of Ernst & Young. The company no doubt trains its potential members of staff. Secondly, it is a way of gaining the ACCA qualification, which is an international passport to business. The acquired skills are manifold, in finance, accounting, organizational management and strategy. Equipped with such know-how one can successfully manage a business in an international context.
