Samma sak gäller för "economics" (men i något mer abstrakt/akademisk betydelse, tycker jag):

disagree  Richard Green: Håller med Chris. "Financials" låter oidiomatisk tycker jag. "Finance" eller "Finances" passar det här sammanhanget bättre.
7 hrs

agree  Peter Linton (X): If we were talking about the finance department, I would agree with Chris and Richard. But it is a computer program, and I can imagine the marketing people preferring an idiomatic name like Financials. So I agree.
