 Accounting-Finance
The role of financial management has substantially increased in global business. The stresses of unpredictable economic turns, fluctuating interest rates, inflation and disinflation and other complex forces at work  in today's economy have generated the need for top-level managers possessing solid financial skills.
The field of finance integrates concepts from economics, accounting, and a number of other areas. The primary goal of financial managers is to maximize the wealth of shareholders. These managers attempt to achieve wealth maximization through daily activities such as credit and inventory management and through long-term decisions related to raising funds. They must also carefully consider domestic and international business conditions in carrying out their responsibilities.
