Accounting is the process of gathering financial information and presenting it in a manner that will help others make better decisions. Accountants also are frequently called upon to analyze financial information and provide important business advice. The terms and definitions that have emerged from the discipline of accounting are used widely within industry. In fact, accounting is commonly described as the "language of business."
With increased automation over the years, the role of accountants has changed dramatically. Accountants have become recognized as valued business advisers and important members of an organization's management team.
The major areas of study within the accounting curriculum are financial accounting, management accounting, income taxation, auditing, and business law.
