Accounting & Finance
Accounting & Finance is concerned with the concepts of money, business and management, with an emphasis on professional careers in this area. The terms 'Accounting' and 'Finance' are not necessarily synonymous with one another. Accounting is concerned with a range of information analysis, for many different aspects of a business. Finance, on the other hand, is concerned solely with the monetary funds of said business.
Digging deeper into subject interests can help you in a number of ways:

Confirm whether this is (or isn't) something you would be interested in enough to want to study it at university either as the focus of your degree or a minor/elective
-
Give you some inspiration to use when creating your questions and topics for IA's (coursework) and your Extended Essay
-
Provide you with content for your university application writing in the future, enabling you to reflect on the things you've been doing to explore your interests in a way that is academically relevant to the course or institution you are applying for.
