These results indicate that the education of liberal accounting is more effective for improving financial literacy and show that liberal accounting are useful in the preparation of financial literacy programs in each university.

자본시장에서 올바른 경제적 의사결정을 위해서는 재무이해력에 대한 수준을 향상시킬 필요성이 제기되어 왔으며, 선진국을 중심으로 재무적 문제에 대한 대응력을 키우고 경제적 환경변화에 대처하기 위해 재무이해력 교육을 강화시켜왔다. 본 연구에서는 K대 학생들의 재무이해력 수준 향상이라는 목표를 가지고 시행한 교양회계 교육이 효과가 있는지 분석하였다. 교양회계 과목을 개설한 후 각 단계별로 테스트를 거쳐 재무이해력 수준의 효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 교양회계 과목 교육 후 학생들의 재무이해력 수준이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 재무이해력 향상을 위해 교양회계 과목 교육의 실효성이 높다는 것을 의미하며, 각 학교에서 재무이해력 증진 프로그램 마련 시 교양회계 과목이 유용함을 보여주는 결과이다.
