Accounting is oriented to both preparers of financial information and users of that information.
Many organizations choose their corporate executives from the ranks of accountants because of their broad training. Accounting graduates have a wide variety of career choices. Private accounting or industry offers graduates a chance to pursue managerial accounting, cost accounting or internal auditing careers. Public accounting consists of the Big Six CPA firms, regional firms and local firms. Accountants in this area may pursue an interest in auditing, tax, financial accounting or systems advisory services.
