The popularity of FAME subjects (finance, accounting, management and economics) comes from their vital role in the world of business, particularly those first two letters of the acronym: accounting and finance. The International Finance and Accounting minor focus on the function of the controller and/or the treasurer within an international organisation. You may take on the role of the key information provider, such as an advisory in a staff function. Alternatively, you may be the main information user, such as a Chief Financial Officer in a truly multicultural work situation. And crucially, being correct, as far as the numbers are concerned, is not the same as being correct in an environment with multiple cultural perceptions. The role requires you to become a jack-of-all-trades, equally comfortable in addressing the broad internal finance needs (Corporate Finance) of your company, as well as the external reporting IFRS requirements (International Accounting). You understand the international financial world, as expressed in the eternal movements of currency exchange rates and international interest rate risks and opportunities (International Financial Management). Above all, as a controller, you know how to run an international business organisation and how to 'keep your cool' in a hectic and competitive world. You and your multicultural team of colleagues will experience this first-hand during an integrated business.
