Accounting relates to preparation of accounting records, preparation, analysing and interpretation of financial statements.





The study of finance consists of the study of money and capital markets (macroeconomics), investments (management of personal and business portfolios), and managerial finance, the actual management of the firm.





I am currently a sophmore international business major at the Lebow College of Business at Drexel University. I am co-concentrating in entrepreneurship and minoring in chinese. The international business aspect pretty much deals with international business law, world cultures, ettiquite in international relations, international finance and regulations, setting up industry overseas....etc etc. Its basically for someone who wants to be in the jetsetter crowed and travel all over for their career. Chinese is the new up and coming economy in the world, and employers are flocking to scoop up any chinese speakers they can find. Japanese is also a good one to know, and spanish remains useful.
