First of all, this post wasn't written with a Nigerian perspective in mind. Probably American, because the laws and salaries quoted doesn't apply here. Secondly, I am an Accountant and I have found it rewarding so far, though am yet to be Chartered. Even an hospital needs an Accountant for better financial management and sound financial record keeping. Its a very marketable course, though the competition is high. However, I would advice one to acquire knowledge of Excel spreadsheets and some accounting softwares like Quickbooks and SAGE. 1 Like 1 Share |

JustCare:Accounting is still one of the best and most versatile career in the world ... An Accountant is not threatened unless he failed to move with the world ..... In fact, Accounting is still that course that gives you faster prospects to Job and versatility in the world of Business ...... With Accounting, you can delve into any aspect of Business you so desire ....... Technology has revolutionised the world of accounting, So an average Accountant other than being Chartered, you must be able to relate with most Accounting packages and if you want to cap it all, be an Accounting package creator yourself ..... Accounting is deep and long, laws/standard changes every time, an Accountant must be dynamic and be ready to adjust to overly changing business environment ...... Some Accountants still don't know what IFRS is all about because they graduated pre introduction of IFRS so preparation of Finstatement is a problem ..... Most of All .... As an Accountant, You MUST be CHARTERED , you must have an Association to keep you abreast of changes in accounting world ..... As far as there is the Business world, The will always be ACCOUNTING. Accounting will always be relevant because it is that field in business science/management science that respond adequately to business needs.... No stupid theory, no stupid laws .... Just business and professionalism ... if IFRS become archaic , we innovate another standards .... God bless IFAC and all the brains behind that body !!! Proudly an Accountant !! 2 Likes |
