When you apply to one of the big accountancy firms, you’ll be expected to know which area of accountancy you want to go into. We take a look at some of the main options. Accountants tend to specialize in one of these fields, which leads to the different career tracks noted below:

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
This field is concerned with the aggregation of financial information into external reports. Financial accounting requires detailed knowledge of the accounting framework used by the reader of a company's financial statements, such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP ) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Or, if a company is publicly-held, it requires a knowledge of the standards issued by the government entity responsible for public company reporting in a specific country (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States). There are several career tracks involved in financial accounting. There is a specialty in external reporting, which usually involves a detailed knowledge of accounting standards. There is also the controller track, which requires a combined knowledge of financial and management accounting.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
