Courses for the "expertise-comptable" diploma

Some courses offered by the MScCCF are necessary to obtain the equivalence for the federal diploma of "expert-comptable". If you have passed your MScCCF, are no longer registered at UNIL and wish to retake failed subjects for the "expertise-comptable", you must register as an auditor. Once your registration is validated by the Service des immatriculation et inscriptions, please send the registration form to hecmaster@unil.ch.
