Careers in Accounting (Wealth Creation and Management)
The 21st Century accountant is a key player across all sectors of industry and commerce. The finance professional of today has become a comprehensive business adviser. The accounting profession has moved away from its traditional image of 'bean counter' towards a much more complex role within organisations - with financial professionals as providers of business management information rather than purely financial information. Along with CEOs and major business unit directors, the top management teams in modern commercial organisations typically include accountants. Accountants often play a key role in the development of strategic business plans, facilitating major change within an organisation.

Accounting bodies in Australia
If you would like a professional qualification following completion of your tertiary course, you will be required to undertake further accreditation through either the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) or CPA Australia.

Both designations are globally recognised.
