Accountancy is the practice of recording, allocating and outlining trade transactions for a business.

It gives an individual a substantial foundation and understanding of how a business should be operated while enhancing communication, operation, strategy and commercial activity skills.

Economics

Economics can be explained in several different ways. It’s the study of shortage, the study of how people make optimum utilization of resources. It helps people to understand how an individual, companies, and governments make decisions on declared resources to satisfy desires and requirements. It also helps determine how an individual or an organization should organize and coordinate with each other to determine the expected outcome.

Informatics Practices

Informatics Practices is a stream of software-related research. The subject primarily covers software, networking concepts and coding. This field corresponds to Computer Science, while excluding the hardware concepts. It canocentrates more on networking concepts than on Computer Science.

Mathematics

Mathematics is an important part of Commerce as all the methods of economics depend on numbers. With a basic knowledge of Maths principles, an individual and an organisation will be able to understand where they position themselves financially in the present, and in the future. Most organisations use Mathematics in Inventory Management, Marketing, Accounting, Financial Analysis and Sales Forecasting.

Statistics for Economics

Many ideas in economic theory, such as functional relationship among variables, are asserted in terms of symbols, algebra, calculus, etc. To examine several economic and social phenomena events, economic theories are better understood and analysed, according to the appropriate numbers. The study of numbers, which is also known as Statistics, represents facts on the basis of a mass of figures. These statistics help in a comparison of facts.
