First of all, studying at KTU School of Economics and Business study program of Accounting and Auditing enables you to create a perfect network, relations with different kinds of people. The most important part of our studies is having a guest lecturer for every lecture we have which helps us broaden our knowledge for studies and our network to get more information about job opportunities in Lithuania. When it comes to the relations between students and professors, this surprised me a lot, I don't feel any difference between me and the professor. They really are kind, friendly and nice people.

Accounting and Auditing programme studies at KTU greatly improved my self-confidence and proficiency. The programme provided me with strong fundamental knowledge of international accounting and auditing, as well as enabled to improve my skills in practice. During the studies I took the opportunity to participate in Erasmus+ programme internship – as a part of my studies I worked as an accounting intern in Malta at Chetcuti Cauchi company.

Who else will tell us - the owners and employees, the investors and the creditors, the state and the citizens - what if there are no accounting professionals? And who will confirm that what accounting professionals are saying is true, if not auditors? Both of these professions are the backbone of the market economy, providing the most important - resource - information needed to make decisions.
