The main reason that I was majoring in accounting field is probably because I had been in touched with this subject since I was 16 years old. I quite loved this subject and so I choose this field as my major in my degree. Other than that, the most common reason for me joining this field is because accounting is a marketable career and it has wide varieties of career path that one can major in. Everyone should understand that this field is not all about debits and credits but it is more of a communicating language in the world of business. In nowadays, this career choice is the most of the people who like to venture in as the employment opportunities are abounding for the graduates majoring in accounting.

 

After attaining a three month internship in this sector, I have a clear career choice which I would like to venture in is becoming general accountant. This kind of job involves checking of ledgers and financial statements for an organization so as to determine if they are making losses and are they spending the cash that has been allocated to them accordingly. Also, this posts almost the same to a book keeper, but they make accruals and the necessary adjustments in the accounting records. In the large organizations, they are usually placed in departments like human resources department dealing with the payment of the staff.

 

In conclusion I would say that Accounting is a career that moulds accountants; these are persons that are responsible in the provision of data that is mainly required to make an assessment on the future and current economic activities. Accountants performs various duties, which include planning tax strategy, calculating the computing cost, preparation of financial statements, and  measuring financial performance.

 

I have a specific focus that I may like to advance in this sector by taking the ACCA paper in order to perform my work and duties better.
