In its structure this course recognises the importance of regulation in underpinning the world of financial reporting and its varied impact on published results and capital markets.

At the same time we realise that although knowledge of economic and finance is a necessary condition when trying to understand the world we live in it needs to be applied in a concrete way in order to avoid consuming itself in analysing theoretical models.
