Financial Management and Accountancy
Accountancy is not a job, it is a type of qualification. With this qualification a whole world of finance is open to you: management, audit, tax, consulting, advisory, accounts and more. There is work for accountants in all sectors: private, public, and third (charity).
You do not need a degree in finance or business to be considered for accounting. Most employers recruit from all disciplines. Graduates entering the profession are expected to be not only 鈥榞ood with numbers鈥� but also be team workers, communicators and have management potential. There are different accountancy qualifications (ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, ICAA, CA), and employers tend to fund their graduate recruits while they work and study towards these.
