How long do you need to study to become a accountant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You could get it done in 4 years, but if you want to become a Certified Public Accountant, you have to take a pretty hard test (like the bar exam for accountants) and there is a period of time where you have to learn on the job before you get licensed.

But, you could get a job right out of high school in an Accounts Receivable department, and technically that's accounting.

What classes should be taken in high school to prepare for a degree in accounting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

To be honest, it really won't matter too much what you take in high school as long as you meet the prerequisites to getting into the college. If Accounting is really what you want to do, some high schools offer an Accounting course. Taking advanced classes for what you want to major in really helps out in college. I would recommend Statistics and as much Math as you can take (AP Calculus probably). It is really up to you though. If you only take the required math to get into college in high school it won't kill you in college. A good example is myself, I am majoring in Microbiology and I'm pre-med, I didn't take Anatomy, Zoology, or AP Biology in high school.

How much money does an architect with an MBA earn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Salary, earning potential, and marketability are not only determined by the type of field you are in and the degree you possess. It depends on your position within that field, the institution you work for, your experience, expertise, personal abilities, critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, dedication and commitment toward ones work, and more. Thus, salary is not so much dependent on the type of degree as much as it is dependent on the person who holds the degree. Still, if you have a specific occupational title, you can then retrieve the estimated mean annual wage particular to that occupation through the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The role of Accountant in a modern business organisation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The accountant evaluates records drawn up by the bookkeeper and shows the results of this investigation as losses and gains, leakages, economies, or changes in value, so as to reveal the progress or failures of the business and also its future limitations and possibilities. Accountants must also be able to draw up a set of financial records and prescribe the system of accounts that will most easily give the desired information; they must be capable of arriving at a comprehensive view of the economic and the legal aspects of a business, envisaging the effect of every sort of transaction on the profit-and-loss statement; and they must recognize and classify all other factors that enter into the determination of the true condition of the business (e.g., statistics or memoranda relating to production; properties and financial records representing investments, expenditures, receipts, fiscal changes, and present standing). Cost accounting shows the actual cost, over a certain period of time, of particular services rendered or of articles produced; by this system unprofitable ventures, services, departments, and methods may be discovered.

What are the main duties of a cashier at Mcdonald's?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cashier is responsible for a successful checkout - which basically includes all the things the secret shopper is asked to look for.

eye contact, smile, greet, check out in a timely manner, careful packing, safeway and airmiles card, offer carry out, thank by name, parting comment.

most of the duties take place at the till, but the cashier may be asked to perform other duties depending on need, etc.

Other duties I've performed - trainee shadow (based on experience and seniority), wash tills (in the evening, when it's slow), face shelves (at slow periods, generally in the evening), stock shelves (based on staff/need), breaks (generally assigned to ~2 people per day, relieve other cashiers for their breaks), assist at customer service (requires some training, based on experience and seniority), collect coupons/put out call sheets (coupons daily in the evening, call sheets based on availability), assist customer service clerk with their duties (ie. changing changers, closing tills, etc), bagging for other cashiers (based on need for cashiers/how busy it is), etc.

most of these other duties occur in evening shifts.
