10 students each from Portugal, Croatia, and Germany work and experience a week intensively together in Lingen and before that in online mode under the motto ¡°International Accounting and Auditing ¨C current perspectives and sustainability¡±, to learn a lot about the structures of the international business world and its impact. The forward-looking programme explores business models in the context of the United Nations. Students learn about a wide range of social, cultural, legal and political issues that affect the strategy and operations of global companies through a mix of traditional lectures, case studies, literature studies, films as well as visits to partners and with the help of guest speakers. The program covers the field of internationalization of business in the context of financial reporting and its contribution to globalization processes. As there are certain international differences in the field of business environment, culture, regulations and content of financial reporting in different countries, the program is designed in such a way that students of three different countries will become familiar with the specifics of financial reporting in those countries and overcome these differences in the context of evaluating the company's financial stability and business performance.The special thing about it is that the individual topics are taught by guest lecturers from the project partner countries, so that intercultural experience is also acquired. Challenges that need to be overcome in a global context are identified. This also includes an analysis of current events.

In the online part of the BIP, there will be a preparatory workshop that will prepare all participants for the week together in Lingen and help them to get to know each other. Varied leisure activities  round off the programme during the mobility week in Lingen. The international participants get to know each other through professional cooperation, accompanied by social activities such as city tours, sports, cooking and barbecue evenings.
