Financial decisions are of fundamental importance to the modern economy and have a significant impact on businesses and investors. The cognitive background of finance is highly complex by assimilating fields such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, accounting, mathematics, statistics, business research, decision sciences, strategy, etc. This course aims to introduce students to the theory and application of financial management. It will provide specialized knowledge and tools to solve specific problems faced by a modern business. The analysis focuses on the data in the developed financial markets, especially the US and Europe, with extensive references to Cypriot and Greek realities.

The course also covers financial reports in terms of their structure and evaluation. It includes standard accounting systems, liability accounting, studies and comparative analysis. It also deals with revenue, costing, accounting reports, capital project evaluation, accounting strategies and control strategies, as well as with modern financial issues.
