The Accounting and Finance Department was founded shortly after Salale University was inaugurated in 2015. It began by offering an undergraduate degree program. As part of efforts to expand its postgraduate offerings, the department introduced two master's programs: an MSc in Accounting and Finance and an MSc in Finance and Investment. The department currently comprises 14 academic staff members with expertise in various fields. Of these, 10 are actively serving, while the remaining is on study leave.
