Technology Associate Degree
The field of accounting offers many career opportunities in both
the private and public sector.
Management
(Industrial) Accounting
The management accountant
is trained to determine the financial consequences of management decisions.
The reports and analyses of the management accountant are essential
ingredients of most management decisions about finance, investments, and
pricing policies. More than anyone else on the management team, the
management accountant participates in virtually every phase of the business
problem solving and decision making process. Because of the accountant's role
in this process, he or she has many times advanced to a top management
position within the company.
Governmental
Accounting
All organizations need
accounting information, and government and other non-profit organizations are
no exception. The federal government hires accountants in most of its
agencies. Three prominent agencies are the Internal Revenue Service, the
General Accounting Office, and the Defense Contract Audit Agency. State and
local government units hire accountants in their tax divisions and in general
accounting functions. Schools and hospitals are major users of accounting
services. Many opportunities exist for those interested in governmental
accounting.
Public
Accounting and the CPA
For the protection of the
public, the CPA is expected to possess certain professional qualifications.
The Uniform CPA Examination measures the technical competency, the exercise
of good judgment, and the understanding of professional responsibility of
each man or woman who chooses this career in accounting. The public
accountant is a true independent professional person with the stature of a
doctor of lawyer. In public accounting many opportunities exist for
professional growth, whether you practice as a sole practitioner or as part
of a larger firm.
