Who we are?

Since 2007, the College of Accounting and Finance has been creating an environment that offers our students professional development and in-depth knowledge, which they later implement in their work.

The VŠR College of Accounting and Finance is a private higher education institution. It was founded by:

  • Counselling and Education Mayr d.o.o., S
  • Živko Bergant, PhD
  • Darinka Kamenšek, MSc

THE COLLEGE OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE

You’ll finish your studies as a Bachelor of Economics or as a Master of Finance and Accounting. However, by studying at our private college, we provide you with more than just an official degree… On the one hand, we train you in becoming a financial expert, an indispensable adviser to managers and a sought-after coworker in accounting companies; on the other hand, we also equip you with theoretical knowledge and rich practical experiences of our lecturers, so that you can identify all the challenges and traps that the seemingly dull figures in the world of accounting and finance are hide and conceal.

Are you interested in simulations as part of e-learning process?

If so, we invite you to read about our international project Simulation of Sustainable International Business, in which we are (among others) developing a digital tool and simulations of international business, that will be used in higher education and business environments. The project will make learning about sustainable international business more interactive, international, interdisciplinary and fun. In a nutshell, more like life!

VŠR INFORMATION

“I am one of those who have persistently argued that accounting will never be a part of their life. However, as the saying goes, »one has to eat humble pie« and today I almost cannot imagine a day unrelated to accounting or auditing.

I’m sure that accounting has a bright future. The profession of accountants is highly appreciated and valued (accountants are at the very top of the companies’ hierarchy) in the developed economies. It is becoming more and more respected and sought-after in Slovenia as well. The realisation that knowledge of accounting is an essential condition for success and business excellence has gained ground. This might also be the cause of the saying »accounting is the language of businessmen«.


After all, this was one of the key reasons that we have decided to establish a specialized college of accounting, which aims to become one of the leading accounting and financial schools of the American-European style in Central and Eastern Europe.


Our graduates have a vast knowledge of accounting, business finances and taxes. Their professional and personal virtues allow them to become the closest associates of management and thus creatively involved in shaping the quality proposals for business decisions.
If you are curious, creative and persistent, we are the right choice. Our professors, practitioners, who also work as auditors, tax consultants, accountants, etc. on daily basis, will help you enhance the necessary theoretical knowledge through practical experiences. Or as our slogan outlines: »From practice for practice«.

MISSION

The fundamental mission of the VŠR College is to deliver professional knowledge and practices in order to form the accounting and financial experts, working within the information and financial functions of the business system. It aims to contribute to a higher level of accounting and financial knowledge and of practical experiences among various target groups of already established and future entrepreneurs, directors, financiers, accountants, and others, who directly or indirectly enter both domestic as well as international markets. We are convinced that this is the right path for still wider usefulness and contribution of accounting to the business decision-making processes.

VISION

The VŠR College aims to become one of the most prominent accounting and financial schools of American-European style in Central and Eastern Europe.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Undergraduate Study Programme of Accounting and Finance, Master Study Programme of Forensic Investigations in Finance and Accounting as well as both Certification Training Programmes are:
– To enable students to acquire expertise and skills for addressing complex professional and work problems,
– To develop students’ communication abilities within and across disciplines,
– To improve students’ professional criticism and to uphold professional accountability,
– To develop future graduates’ initiative and autonomy in decision-making processes and management.

Students will also enhance their knowledge through practical training in a working environment.

Graduates will therefore:

  • Be able to cooperate with the management and to assist company managers with reliable and timely information for making the best possible business decisions;
  • Be qualified to report on the business performance of the business system in a way that the accounting reports express a real and fair image of business system’s business activities;
  • Know how to organise and run the accounting as a central information activity in the business system;
  • Be able to act in forensic investigations.

Our fundamental principle of work is transferring theoretical knowledge in a creative environment of collegial relation between professors and students and conveying it into practice.

We prioritize a direct relationship and dialogue between professors and students, who are thus motivated to solve concrete problems. Teachers are also presenting their practical experiences in addition to theoretical knowledge. The goal of the dialogue is to teach students how to solve problems and therefore to equip them with all the necessary skills  for effective work in the business environment.

Our degrees are a written evidence of the knowledge acquired at the VŠR College. For this reason we would want to highlight the basic goal of the Study Programmes at our College. If the “Knowledge is Power” theorem is, in principle, a very attractive goal, a knowledge can, however, also be misused and abused (for example for manipulation and fraud). Conversely, if knowledge is used in a useful and honest way, it becomes wisdom. Thus wisdom is the real objective of studying.

Useful and honest use of knowledge, namely brings the following:

  1. More autonomy at work, as one is not forced to always imitate others;
  2. Independence from others, which is particularly evident in greater social security and in freedom to express one’s own opinion;
  3. More personal balance;

Trust of coworkers and business partners; development of personal charisma.

Our graduates will furthermore:

  1. Be able to influence and manage their own careers;
  2. Use their ability of critical thinking with greater reliability and objectivity;
  3. Increase their self-confidence with the concomitant awareness that knowledge and learning are essentially endless processes.
