Esteemed colleagues and dedicated students, greetings of peace and blessings to you all. It is with great enthusiasm that I address the commendable efforts of the College of Management and Economics in striving towards our collective aspirations and delivering our academic programs with utmost excellence. The College is committed to excellence through the implementation of rigorous academic curricula that are meticulously devised and periodically updated to stay abreast of technological advancements and academic trends. These curricula are designed to align with the standards of esteemed colleges and universities within Iraq, ensuring our programs are of the highest caliber. The College assumes a pivotal role in attaining prominence in the realms of management and economics via its specialized departments. Notably, the Accounting Department emerges as a crucial entity in today’s context, given the widespread demand in both the public and private sectors, as well as in mixed economies, for proficient accounting management practices. The surge in private enterprises has underscored the indispensable role of accounting professionals, thereby making accounting an integral element in the functioning of both governmental and private entities. This evolution in accounting terminology, intertwined with other knowledge domains and technological advancements, equips our students with the essential skills and knowledge to excel across various sectors with commendable competence. This comprehensive preparation enables our graduates to navigate the job and trading markets effectively, positioning them as invaluable assets to companies as accountants. Their profound understanding of trading nuances, coupled with analytical prowess, summarization skills, and informed decision-making capabilities, render them pivotal advisors and intermediaries to investors and securities brokers. Similarly, the significance of the Finance and Banking Department cannot be overstated, especially given the current emphasis on entrepreneurial ventures and the labor market’s demand for skilled graduates in management and financial disciplines. The curriculum is tailored to imbue students with both academic and professional knowledge requisite for thriving in administrative, financial, and banking sectors. This equips them for roles in stock trading companies, stock exchanges, and international finance arenas. Together, we are committed to actualizing these programs to fulfill our shared objectives. May Allah bless our endeavors with success in contributing to the public welfare.

The College of Management and Economics at Al-Farahidi University, inaugurated in 2018, comprises three pivotal departments: the Accounting Department, the Finance and Banking Department, and the Business Administration Department. This College is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, offering rigorous academic programs meticulously developed and regularly updated to align with technological advancements and academic progress. These programs are thoughtfully designed to meet the standards of esteemed institutions, ensuring compatibility with similar offerings in reputable colleges and universities across Iraq.
