Sažetak
A relentless dynamic and demanding worldwide competitive environment is continuously more exigent in terms of qualifications of human resources, as professionals and managers face more demanding challenges. More soft and hard skills are requested from the education systems as such competitiveness is increasingly demanding more from businesses and management. Until not such a long time ago, illiteracy was a major caveat for modern and developed societies and economies. As such levels have been significantly reduced, nowadays is another type of illiteracy, the financial one, which seems to keep being a reason of concern. Unsurprisingly, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of having skills in the field of finance, being such highly valuated, at times, in several different types of higher education degrees, i.e. from a non- financial strand. Accordingly, this paper examines the continuum of insights that financial education can provide by enquiring higher education students from non-financial degrees lectured in Croatia and Portugal, in order to capture and comparatively discuss their perceptions on financial matters, namely related to accounting, taxation, and controlling. Overall, the results obtained suggest that students, from both Croatia and Portugal, acknowledge that, regardless the nature of their non-financial educational choices, it is important to have, at the very least, some basic knowledge on financial topics
