In today's increasingly complex and competitive environment, all organizations, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations need careful planning and close monitoring of their use of funds. Providing clear, insightful analyses for this purpose is what accountants are trained to do. As a professional accountant you will not only grow as a person, but your skills and knowledge will contribute to the economic and social welfare of society as a whole.

Some graduates enter government service with federal or state agencies such as the IRS, the Government Accounting Office, or the State Auditor General's office.
