WHAT IS ACCOUNTING?
Accounting is the “language of business”. It is concerned with
measuring financial information that is used by managers, investors, taxing
agents, public agencies, and decision makers. Here is where you will find
out how a business really works and makes many important decisions.
WHY TAKE ACCOUNTING?
There are many reasons for learning accounting.
 | Do you want to own your own business? |
| Do you want to work for a local or national sports team? |
| Work in the entertainment industry? |
