Accounting and Finance

The information explosion sweeping our society is increasing the demand and scope for accountants. The accounting profession has emerged as one of the leading growth professions throughout the world. A recent survey by the Department of Labor projects Accounting as one of the majors with the greatest market demand.

Accountants have a variety of career paths from which to choose. Public accountants, or CPAs (Certified Public Accountants), provide a variety of services to both individuals and businesses, including auditing, tax, consulting, and personal financial planning. Law enforcement agencies such as the FBI also hire many CPAs. Management accountants are employed in industry, government, and non-profit organizations and are considered the information analysts of the management team. Their professional designation is the CMA, (Certified Management Accountant). Other career paths for accountants include internal auditing and teaching.
