Purpose

The Association was created to support research and to establish a remote communication network among scholars working in finance and accounting.

Our aims

In particular, the Association seeks:

1.

These meetings rotate among universities across the country.
2. To promote scientific knowledge and the corresponding applications of finance and accounting in Greece.
3. To evaluate and review teaching methods in financial management and accounting.
4. To evaluate and review the methods that link academic knowledge with market practice in both finance and accounting.
5. To create a parallel association of doctoral students, aimed at coordination and cooperation among them, the exchange of knowledge and views, and guidance from distinguished figures in the field.
