Abstract

The aim of this study is to measure the accounting and finance literacy level of the students who are studying at banking and finance department. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to the students at the department of banking and finance in Manisa Celal Bayar University. The questionnaire was also applied to other students who were referred to as the control group. The control group consists of students who have not previously studied accounting and finance. The questionnaire was answered by 92 students in the banking and finance department and by 95 students in the control group. One of the sub-objectives of the study is to compare between banking and finance students and control group. Thus, the existence of accounting and finance literacy in these students will be analyzed in a healthier way. According to the survey findings, while the financial literacy of the students studying in the banking department is acceptable, but it cannot be said that the same results are valid for the accounting literacy of these students.
