The program is delivered by an international faculty with top qualifications and experience in the business world.

In this concentration, students familiarize themselves with the core aspects of accounting and finance. The courses are designed to gradually deepen studentsโ knowledge of accounting, reporting, banking, capital markets, and portfolio management. Given the rising number and volume of fraud and unfair practices in these areas, the module also focuses heavily on business ethics and the ethics of capital markets.

After completion of these modules, students will be able to successfully work in the above-stated fields and will have the ability to record, classify, analyze, summarize, interpret, and communicate financial information relevant to a business and its surroundings.
The Bachelorโs degree awarded is concurrently recognized as a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in the United States, per AAUโs accreditation by the WASC Senior College and University Commission, and as a Bakalรกล (Bc.) in the Czech Republic, per AAUโs accreditation by the National Accreditation Bureau for Higher Education.
