The author of this letter has been asked to presume that the author is a senior in college and studying accounting. The general priority of the author in this situation is to become a Certified Public Accountant upon graduation and otherwise meeting the requirement set forth for sitting for the exam and gaining the certification. Two questions are to exist when it comes to all of this. The first is what the author is going to do to achieve the author's goals and the second is what, if anything, will keep the author from achieving the author's goals. While it is easy enough to say that there is commitment to the degree and the certification, one has to realize and remember that working as a CPA is no small thing and gaining and keeping that certification is no less of an item to consider.The first goal of the author is to finish strong when it comes to the college degree. Indeed, the senior year of college is the tail end of a hard slog of general education and core accounting course. However, to become or remain complacent would be less than wise on so many levels. Until the very last final is taken and the very last assignment leading up to the same is completed, the author would need to remain vigilant and committed to finishing on a high note rather than fading away near the end and not getting the accolades and plaudits that come with being an elite academic mind and student. Another goal is to make sure to study and drill all portions and parts of the CPA exam in advance of sitting for the exam. Beyond that, the author will need...
Some states do not have hard work requirements while others do. Regardless, passing the test is the first major trial and that will be done first. Finding a reputable mentor and accountant at a place of employment, whether a work requirement is necessary, would also be one thing that is imperative to garner.
As with all things, there are roadblocks that can get in the way. Even if many to most of them would be self-imposed, they exist nonetheless. One thing that the author would do to achieve the list of goals and milestones listed in this brief letter is to not get cocky or complacent. Even if test-taking and accounting knowledge in general is not deemed to be a problem for the author, the author needs to continue to behave in a committed and elite manner. Doing otherwise could lead to the test not being passed, a job not being procured as quickly or even not as good a job as could normally be garnered given the right level of performance. The best and most advanced accounting firms and professionals will smell blood if they sense that an applicant is any less than fully committed to their hiring manager, the associated company and the career of the author of this report. Another thing that could get in the way are other parts of the author's personal life. As much as is possible, the author needs to make a point to deal with other issues in the author's life as…
Accountant Why I Chose Accounting "I hate math." Ever since I can remember people have approached me to tell me how much they loathe math, when they hear that I love it. However, I have always been fascinated by the order mathematics can bring to a chaotic world. Sometimes when life seems hard, it is very comforting to be able to look at numbers. This is not to say, of course, that
The purpose of requiring the application of professional standards rather than personal ethical values in professional accounting and auditing is precisely, to ensure that all entities are regulated and evaluated impartially and without regard to any subjective beliefs or philosophical perspectives of the individual rendering professional accounting services or conducting audits. Whereas the AICPA Code of Responsibility actually incorporates the word objectivity (in addition to the word independence), the GAS
Accounting Information for Decision Making Corporate Confirming on Water Risk (Feb 2010) indicates that the Global Confirming Initiative (GRI) G3 Guidelines' five water-related indications (total withdrawal volume by source, ponds considerably impacted by distributions, percentage and total amount of water recycled and used again, total water discharge by quality and destination, and identification water physiques and related habitats impacted by discharges) make the perfect beginning point for assessing and confirming water
.....ethical for an employer to use social media information as a factor when considering whether to hire an employee? What about monitoring social networking activities of employees while on the job? Use ethical reasoning in answering these questions. The wide-ranging use of social media in the workplace gives rise to serious moral and ethical concerns. Kantian ethics lays emphasis on the form of an action in ascertaining its morality. Kant insists
career interest is accounting. Accountancy is the process of evaluating the financial information about business entities to users such as the managers of the shareholders (Elliot, & Elliot, 2004). Accountancy falls into three areas: accounting, bookkeeping, and auditing. I choose accounting since it will give me a solid employment with a lucrative wage and this is what is important to me. I have also learned that it can be fun
By happiness it is intended pleasure, and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain and the privation of pleasure." (Philosophical Classics, 2010. P.946). This approach has been experienced a lot within the accounting fraternity. The actions of the accountant can be weighed to be right or wrong depending on the amount of pleasure they bring or otherwise. This approach helps in the quest for pleasure and the well being of
