Summary/Abstract: Because near 70% of economic information is created through accounting, whether accounting knowledge and skills are necessary for healthcare managers is somewhat rhetorical. However, it is essential to outline the scope, content and volume of the accounting disciplines necessary to form the knowledge and skills of future health managers. This research aims to assess healthcare managers‘ needs to acquire specific accounting knowledge and skills. The curricula in various bachelor‘s and master‘s programs in the field of management in the healthcare sector are researched, highlighting the disciplines that form accounting competencies and skills. The educational needs for such knowledge and skills among current and former students in master‘s and bachelor‘s programs in health and pharmaceutical management are assessed via survey. The need for accounting knowledge and skills of managers in the healthcare sector is confirmed by the curricula content and the respondents‘ answers.
