What is Chartered Accountancy |
What is Chartered Accountancy?
For those
in the know, Chartered Accountancy is widely recognized as one
of the most valuable, progressive, exciting jobs around.
Chartered Accountants are first and foremost business advisers. They used
to look at the past and tell companies how they performed. This
is no longer the case as they have IT systems to do this.
Today, Chartered Accountants add value to their clients' businesses
by increasing their market share and improving profitability.
Choice and variety are the key elements when you embark on a
career as a Chartered Accountant. You will work alongside people
of your own age, test your skills to the limits and experience
a whole range of challenging projects.
Chartered Accountants work in a number of areas including Financial Accounting, Audit,
Taxation, Financial Management, Management Accounting, Information
Technology, Corporate Finance, Management Consultancy, Forensic
Accounting and Insolvency.
The ACA is undoubtedly the most valuable
financially based business qualification there is. The Institute
of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which offers
the ACA, is the largest professional body in Europe, with some
120,000 members. It has an unrivalled global reputation that
leads to plenty of international opportunities.
