What Is Chartered Accountancy

							What Is Chartered Accountancy

Chartered Accountants work for big and small firms that offer fee earning advisory and
management services to a variety of clients and businesses in the industrial, commercial and
non profit sectors. They audit the accounts of these clients and businesses and can also be
involved in specialist areas of financial advice such as tax. Chartered Accountants are also
employed in commercial organizations, banks, and the private and public sectors.

To become a Chartered Accountant you need to be motivated, possess analytical skills,
numerical ability, a keen sense of what is going on in the world of business and finance, and
personal qualities such as reliability and discretion. You will be required to study business
and corporate finance, economics, auditing, taxation, management and information systems.
