Overview
First, let me give an overview of what I'm going to cover in my blog.
It will be random posts that I would like to share with all. You can bet it's going to be something fun/interesting/silly/important facts. I might be updating more than once, so check back for updates.

Analyze this
So let's begin with my actual post with a serious note by giving some interesting facts of a career in accounting (really? is there any?), and clear up some of the misconceptions of us with accounting degree.

So what can you do with an accounting degree? Many.

Many people think that studying accounting is boring. And guess what, it's TRUE! However, it can be versatile and exciting, but that depends on your job. Let's cover both sides.

Boring
From my experience and understanding, working as an accountant could be boring.

Why? Cause you are doing the same thing over and over again. For example, working in the account payable and account receivable, you cannot work on other job functions as you could compromise the internal controls and commit fraud.

Isn't it the same thing as other jobs? Yes, but well, it's accounting.

Exciting
That happens if you are in public accounting, especially if you are in Big4. The Big 4 are simply the 4 largest accounting firms with partnerships around the world. With accounting, you can work in audit, forensic accounting, consulting (business process & internal control etc), financial advisory and so on.

Isn't it the same? Well, the difference is that you could be exposed in different industries, tasks, teams and location. That means we don't have our own cubicles.

So where do we work? At the office, just that we have to make RESERVATION! See below for screenshot. (edited).

How do we get assign? That depends on the needs, availability and the expertise of the individual. We are then selected by the manager/resource manager.
Sounds like fun, isn't it?

Okay, peace out for now. Attending conference call now.
