Overview 

The BSc in Accounting & Finance at King's College London combines a solid grounding in general management with focused study of accounting and financial principles, based in the heart of London's financial district. Students begin with foundational business and economics knowledge before moving into more specialised areas such as financial reporting, management accounting, and investment. The subject matters because it develops the technical and analytical expertise needed to understand how organisations manage money, risk, and financial reporting.
