Who is a Chartered Accountant?
Chartered Accountancy generally consists of a mix of theoretical study and practical training. Accounting, Auditing and Taxation are the core areas dealt with by Chartered Accountants. They are also capable of expert level services in the areas of General Management, Personnel Management, Financial Management, Operations Management and Human Resource Management.
Training as a Chartered Accountant opens the door to a vast range of exciting career opportunities, in every sector of business and finance, both local and international. Chartered Accountants are leading business professionals who provide essential strategic guidance, expertise and consultation in business, public practices, government and education fields. They are also recognised for their technical competence, professional standards, and veracity.
Chartered Accountancy training combines innovative education with mentored work experience
to produce accountants who possess a greater ability to analyse and interpret business problems and develop dynamic solutions. Along with the technical skills mentioned above, Chartered Accountants generally have a solid foundation in economics, marketing and management information systems apart from, naturally, accounting.
No other career offers the mobility that a Chartered Accountancy qualification does. Today’s member takes on the role of a business advisor, who makes high-level strategic decisions, aimed at driving business, improving profit margins and increasing market share for their clients / employers. Many Chartered Accountants also use their expertise to form their own businesses, becoming highly successful entrepreneurs.
As well as dominating public accounting practices, Chartered Accountants are found at the highest level in virtually every sector of the economy.
