The course is given entirely in French.
The new training program in Production Accounting is aligned with the needs of the serial industry and the proliferation of international projects shot in France, especially in the Hauts-de-France region.
A production accountant manages the financial, social and fiscal administration of an audiovisual production. They ensure compliance with legislation on shooting locations throughout the project’s duration. This is a critical role from pre-production to post-production.

- Prepare the accounting and social elements in the pre-production phase of the audiovisual project, depending on the context and the area of production concerned,
- Carry out the accounting, social and tax management of the audiovisual project during the shooting and post-production phases,
- Draw up the social, tax and accounting statements at the close of the audiovisual production project.
Key aspects of the course: Social legislation ; Financial management and accounting ; Serial specificity ; International outlook ; Social and environmental responsibility.
