Accounting is an information system that measures, processes, and communicates financial information about an identifiable economic entity to interest users of the information such as investors, managers and creditors.
Accounting is something called the language of business.
Accounting appeals to students with the ability to communicate effectively with other individuals as well as those who demonstrate strong analytical, management, and mathematical skills.
