Faculty of Management and Social Communication

The programme description for Accounting and Finance Management is as follows: Together with the development of globalisation and the constantly competitive economic environment, the operating conditions of enterprises have changed significantly, as well as logistics and marketing. They mainly concern a significant increase in the role of transnational corporations that use complex settlements and new financial instruments. This necessitates the continuous improvement of knowledge and skills in accounting, financial reporting and broadly understood finance.

Studies in Accounting and Finance Management educate specialists with advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in economics and finance, accounting and financial management, reporting, financial audit, financial analysis, tax optimisation elements, and mathematics and legal sciences.
