What is Lifelong Learning for Financials?

Nyenrode sees the education of students, managers and professionals as its social task. We contribute to the development of responsible leaders, entrepreneurs and organizations through practice-oriented education and research. At Nyenrode, the conviction prevails: a person never stops learning, no matter what phase of his life he is in. This translates into the mindset: Life Long Learning.

Since 2000, Nyenrode has also trained future Registered Accountants and Registered Controllers. We offer them training to obtain these titles. In order to retain these titles, the RAs and RCs must annually complete certain learning activities, including training or courses, to demonstrate continuous development and topicality of knowledge.

In line with Nyenrode's Life Long Learning mindset, the primary goal is to develop impactful learning experiences and state-of-the-art physical, online and hybrid programs, both programs with open enrollment and customized programs for organizations, with a primary focus on RAs and RCs.

CSRD & ESG

CSRD legislation

According to the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) of the European Union, companies that meet certain criteria must report on various ESG goals from 2024. Both Controllers and Accountants have an important advisory and monitoring role here.

With the CSRD directive, the EU requires large companies in the Netherlands to report on their sustainability performance in the annual report. The CSRD will lead to a major change in the business operations of all large companies in the Netherlands. Sustainability will be integrated into all aspects of business operations, such as governance, strategy, risk management, internal control environment and internal and external reporting.

For many companies, this means that they will have to draw up or update a sustainability strategy and set up the processes and systems on that basis in order to achieve the sustainability objectives. Since this must be reported on in the annual report, this also means that the company will have to collect the right data for this and guarantee the quality of that data.

ESG reporting

At Nyenrode, we educate financial professionals of the future who strive for a sustainable world. That is why we embrace developments in the field of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). According to the European CSRD directive, companies that meet certain criteria must report on various ESG objectives from this year onwards.

Companies that implement a good ESG policy can realize value creation in the long term and reduce risks in the areas of people, planet and profit. That is why it is important that controllers and accountants become familiar with ESG strategies, and the necessary tools and techniques to measure ESG performance. But how do you deal with this as an Accountant or Controller? We teach you this through our ESG training courses

PE points

PE stands for Permanent Education. For various disciplines it is important that the (professional) knowledge of a professional is and remains up-to-date, also as financial. Keeping up-to-date can be done by following courses and training. This keeps one professionally competent and the professional is allowed to practice his profession. Nyenrode offers with the Lifelong Learning for financials training courses for which you receive PE points.
