SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH FOCUS OF THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Finance, Accounting and Mathematical Methods deals with a wide range of scientific disciplines related to finance, financial-economic analysis, accounting, mathematics, statistics, and computer science (informatics). The primary aim is to combine theoretical knowledge with practical applications and to create innovative solutions to current and future challenges in these areas.

Specifically, in the field of finance, it focuses on assessing the financial status and competitiveness of companies at national and international level. The research area focuses on financial forecasting models, the financial and economic position of financial and non-financial corporations in space. Scoring models for assessing the financial level of financial and non-financial corporations are proposed in the scientific outputs.

In the field of mathematical and statistical disciplines, department is engaged in statistical modelling and data analysis. The department is engaged in research using statistical methods with an emphasis on their applications in various fields, primarily in the areas of social and economic sciences, management, tourism, and industry, but also in other areas. We specialize in the development of advanced models and data analysis that help to effectively understand and predict complex phenomena.

The aim of the department is not only to provide quality education to our students, but also to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge and innovation through our scientific research programme. We cooperate and remain open to cooperation and partnerships with other institutions, local government and industry partners to achieve significant results in the researched area.
