We had a lecture on financial accounting today, which was one of my favourite ones to date – although I may be biased because I took accounting in high school…

There’s a funny stereotypical accounting video to watch. Anywho, I find accounting interesting (no sarcasm here). Not only are accountants dealing with numbers and reports, but it is their job to give people beneficial financial advice. Like in any job, it is imperative to have good ethics and integrity. People are relying on the accountant to give accurate reports, and handle their money! It’s a huge responsibility.

Our instructor talked briefly about the CPA Recruitment Program, which is of definite interest, but apparently very competitive. In which case, I’m looking forward to further applying my knowledge, participating, and networking!
