The main goal of the department is; To train accountants, financial experts and auditors who have theoretical and practical knowledge in the field, equipped and gained professional experience. The lack of the accounting and finance sector and the audit function in this sector together with the recent global crises has revealed the necessity of giving the necessary importance to the profession.
