Accounting Bissim: Steering students towards sustainability
This case study has been created from the Finance for the Future Awards. This entry was a finalist in the ‘Driving change through education, training and academia’ category.
Accounting Bissim is a flexible and realistic facilitated business simulation designed to support accounting and finance courses. Students play the role of company directors working to build a competitive business, with success measured by the business’s long-term sustainability. Tutors act as facilitators during the simulation, actively supporting students’ learning.
‘Accounting Bissim engages learners in an interactive and fun activity to increase sustainable decision-making in business. The way in which sustainability is a standard parameter embedded within R&D, marketing, HR, production and finance decisions encourages learners to build long-term sustainable businesses.’
