Faculty of Taxation, Accounting and Audit
In connection with the reorganisation of the University of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine into the State Tax University, the Faculty of Taxation, Accounting and Audit was established according to the new structure, which was put into effect on 04.12.2021.
The history of the Faculty dates back to 1961, when the Irpin Industrial College began to introduce economic specialities along with technical ones. In 1967, the first group of students started their studies in Accounting. For a long time, accountants were trained at the Department of Plastics Processing and Accounting. In 1978, a separate planning and economic department was established to train economists and accountants. Thus, until 1993, junior specialists were trained in accounting.
The early 1990s saw the rapid development of the institution: college - institute - academy - university - national university. In accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 10 January 1996, the Ukrainian Institute of Finance and Economics was established on the basis of Irpin Industrial College, and with it the Faculty of Accounting and Economics and the Department of Accounting and Audit. From 1996 to May 2015, the Faculty of Accounting and Economics trained bachelors, specialists, and masters in Accounting and Auditing. In 2015, the Educational and Research Institute of Accounting, Analysis and Audit was established on the basis of the Faculty of Accounting and Economics, which operated until December 2021.
Today, the Faculty is a modern innovative educational and scientific centre that meets modern requirements and international quality standards and provides training in the specialities 071 "Accounting and Taxation", 072 "Finance, Banking and Insurance" and 051 "Economics".
The faculty is headed by Doctor of Economics, Professor Volodymyr Kraievskyi.
The faculty team keeps pace with the times and focuses on the modern labour market in training specialists. As a result of successful cooperation with the State Tax Service of Ukraine and the State Audit Service of Ukraine, students of the second (master's) level have the opportunity to study in a dual form, i.e. combine full-time study at the university and practical paid work.
In its structure, the Faculty combines the educational, scientific and international activities of five departments:
- Department of Fiscal Administration;
- Department of Accounting and Consulting;
- Department of Audit, State Financial Control and Analysis;
- Department of Accounting Technologies and Business Analytics;
- Department of Economic Policy.
The Faculty has two training laboratories: a training laboratory for tax consulting and a training laboratory for accounting and analytical support, which were established in December 2021.
We train specialists in the following educational and professional programmes, which are accredited by the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance and at three levels of higher education:
- First (bachelor's) degree - Accounting, Tax Audit and Business Analytics, Tax Consulting
- Second (master's) degree - Accounting and Taxation in Business Management, State Audit; Forensic Economic Expertise in Financial Investigations, Management Accounting and Business Analytics, Tax Consulting, Fiscal Administration, City and Regional Economics
- The third (educational and scientific) is Accounting and Taxation.
We owe the successful work of the faculty over the years to the first Dean of the Faculty of Accounting and Economics, Ela Sukhanova, now Honoured Worker of Education of Ukraine, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor. From 2003 to April 2020, Nataliia Petrivna Matseliukh, Doctor of Economics, Professor, Honoured Worker of Education of Ukraine, was the Dean of the Faculty and then the Director of the Institute. M.
