Accounting is the language of business, the scoreboard which measures operational success and failure. Used by managers within the firm, accounting provides the information necessary to make effective decisions in the international marketplace.
Some accounting courses will help you prepare for several qualifying examinations, such as: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Meet with your adviser if you plan on pursuing one of these exams to ensure you take the appropriate classes.
