Accountancy communicates relevant and reliable financial information to different groups of people. Accountants develop financial statements that are released to shareholders, banks, managers and employees within the company, regulatory agencies, taxing authorities and the general public.
Accounting focuses on financial accounting, managerial accounting, auditing, taxation and accounting information systems. Accountants measure costs, compare results with planned outcomes, prepare budgets, perform audits and participate in business and tax planning. These responsibilities require high levels of mathematic, computer and analytical skills.
