Accounting CPA Preparation MBA
The need for honest and ethical practices in accounting has become a media obsession. While an undergraduate economics major at Whatever University, my interest in the field of accounting blossomed into a determination to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). In my accounting coursework, I was fascinated by how the course materials reflected what I was reading about in the newspaper on a daily basis. I am proud to see that the Whatever School of Business is focused on the need for accountants to have a strong ethical education. Accountants must strive to give an accurate portrait of a business' health. The role of an accountant is to make individual and commercial enterprises work better by providing people with the correct financial information they need to know to make good economic decisions about the future.
I am now resolved to enter the field as a CPA after supplementing my current knowledge of economics with the education at the Whatever University Whatever School of Business. Whatever's location in the heart of the currently troubled, but always relevant and exciting financial world of New York City would make it an ideal place to study to become a professional in my chosen financial field. Having access to New York's resources has been a vital part of my undergraduate education at Whatever and I want to use the city's work and internship opportunities during my graduate education, as well as further tap into its enthusiasm and energy.
I think my economics major and the holistic perspective it has given me about the world's economy will make me a better accountant. So will the general managerial courses I hope to take while a business student at Whatever. I see myself becoming a vital part of class discussions, merging the knowledge I have gained of global finance with the technical aspects of the accounting profession. I am also eager to pursue an MBA in accounting at Whatever because of the additional information the Whatever School will give me about leadership, the law, organizational behavior, and the international economy, as well as taxation and other courses uniquely pertinent to accounting.
The Whatever School of Business at Whatever University prepares its students well for the accounting profession but also encourages them to engage in critical debate about how to honor the different interests and demands of stakeholders at a corporation, and to balance the law with the needs of the client, regardless of whether the client is a 'real' individual or the fictional individual of a corporation. On a larger level, I believe that my experiences as an international student at Whatever will help me as an accountant student and eventually as a CPA. I am used to balancing a variety of different perspectives, as I have had to learn about the United States while learning about American and world economic systems in my classes.
