Quality Policy  

The quality assurance policy of the Department of Accounting and Finance is fully harmonized with the quality assurance policy of the Institution and focuses on the continuous improvement of the quality of the curriculum, its educational, research and administrative work.  

This policy is made public and disseminated to its members involved, so that its academic and administrative staff and its students take responsibility for quality assurance according to their respective roles.  

The Department of Accounting and Finance is committed to the implementation of a quality policy that supports the academic physiognomy and orientation of the curriculum, promotes its purpose and subject matter, sets, implements and monitors quality objectives, determines the means, actions and ways of achieving them and applies the appropriate internal and external quality procedures with the ultimate goal of its continuous improvement.  

For this reason, the Department’s Undergraduate School is established and regularly updated with a focus on academic and applied teaching, research and search. Its update takes into account the scientific developments in the individual research fields it treats, the interdisciplinarity and the emergence of new cutting-edge objects. At the same time, it monitors the programs of relevant departments of other universities in Greece and abroad.
