This book was released on 2014-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting is one of the most in-demand careers today, with more new jobs opening up every day. The opportunities available to accountants, auditors and similar professionals in the field are expected to continue expanding as international business increases and more government regulations take effect. Accounting is rated among the top five careers by such publications as Forbes and CNN/Money, with new graduates earning an average of $55,000 in their first year on the job. Accountants work with businesses, governments and other organizations to analyze and manage their finances. Accountants use spreadsheets and other computer applications to record, communicate and interpret financial results. They track transactions, recommend cost-cutting measures, and ensure that taxes are paid promptly and correctly. Accountants also help individuals and families file their taxes and manage their personal finances. Opportunities for accountants can be found in cities of all sizes across the country. Some accountants are employed directly by businesses, government agencies, not-for-profits, colleges and similar organizations. Others work for public accounting firms that are retained by organizations to provide financial services. Accountants may also be self-employed, such as those who specialize in providing tax services for families. A four-year degree from an accredited college or university is typically the minimum requirement to land your first job as an accountant. A graduate degree can be helpful, particularly for management positions or highly technical financial analysis work. Many accountants obtain professional licenses, most notable the Certified Public Accountant (CPA). State licensing requirements vary, but CPAs generally must obtain additional college credit hours, have experience working in the field, and pass a rigorous examination. Employment experts predict that the number of accounting and auditing jobs will grow by over 15 percent within the coming decade, as economic expansion drives the need for financial expertise. Accountants and auditors are paid on average $65,000 a year, a significant increase from just $60,000 only a few years ago, and earnings are expected to continue to track upward.

Book excerpt: In this compilation, critical aspects of the internal audit function are contrasted in order to provide an insight into the value of internal auditing and, within that, to submit arguments for the implementation and maintenance of an internal audit function.The authors examine how to optimize the allocation of audit resources over an auditee population with respect to available population statistics. The included survey mainly deals with audit situations where the auditee is assumed to behave rationally and optimize its expected utility based on information regarding the audit strategy.According to the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, internal auditors must always maintain an objective and independent working attitude to perform effectively. However, data indicate that this requirement might often become challenged due to bias-prone situations, eventually leading to false conclusions or even wrong decisions by auditors and management. As such, the authors address selected cognitive biases for internal auditors and potential behavior patterns tempering the effects of these biases.In common energy audition methods, the efficiency of waste-to-energy power plants is evaluated directly. This method is highly sensitive to the measurement errors of waste mass flow which is difficult determine precisely. Further-more, the direct method does not clarify the sources of energy loss. Using the indirect method which is proposed in this chapter book, the power plant is split into three sub-systems. The overall efficiency is determined by analyzing the multiplication of thesesub-systems efficiency and the internal energy usage.This final chapter uses case examples to showcase how auditing is a suitable method for clarifying the level of comprehensive, risk-based safety and security management of organizations operating in business and the public sector. The authors encourage organizations to develop their safety and security management system using a risk-based approach.

Book excerpt: ***** SAVE WHEN YOU BUY DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER AT https://store.cpatrendlines.com/shop/accountaneur/ ***** Advance Praise for Accountaneur(r) "Accountants need to be more than just accountants and Hitendra creates a way for accountants to look at themselves. He calls it the Accountaneur(r). This book contains a great deal of new thought about what accountants should be doing. It is a required read for all professionals, partners, and non-partners. Leaders at accounting firms have a huge responsibility to create a business environment conducive to growth and achievement, not just at their firms, but especially for their clients. Hitendra brings a perspective that helps accounting firm leaders find answers to key questions that will lead to entrepreneurial achievement."- August J. Aquila, CEO, AQUILA Global Advisors LLC, consultant to professional service firms, author, and speaker. "What impressed me the first time I met Hitendra is his drive to help others reach their potential. This book does just that. You will learn and appreciate what an important role the accountant plays in our business and personal lives. Hitendra makes the profession come alive. If you are in the accounting profession, or thinking about it, you must read this book!"- Chester Elton, New York Times best-selling author of "The Carrot Principle," "All In," and "What Motivates Me" "Entrepreneurs create wealth and opportunities for others. Entrepreneurial accountants make it possible for entrepreneurs. Accountaneur(r) is a probing question bank for accountants who want to be entrepreneurial."- Allan D. Koltin, CPA, CEO, Koltin Consulting Group Inc. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? Think different. Taking a cue from several research studies across different professions and industries that identify traits, strengths, talents, skills, values, and beliefs, we identify the most common attitudes and beliefs of successful accountants who can be deservedly called as entrepreneurs in the true sense of the word. An Accountaneur is an entrepreneur whom, with considerable initiative and risk, organizes and manages a business that provides tax, accounting, and advisory services to solve problems for people, for profit, or, for pay, by employing productive labor and technologies. So, the difference between an Accountaneur(r) and an accountant lies in his or her traits, strengths, talents, skills, values and beliefs. There are three types of people in the professional world. Those who work for others, i.e. in a job. Those who work for themselves, i.e. who create a job for themselves. And those who create jobs for others. An Accountaneur(r) either works for him or herself or is the one who creates jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? If you work for yourself or if you have created jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession, you are an entrepreneur, rather an Accountaneur. You are an Accountaneur if you chose not take up a job, but chose instead to create a business. More at http://cpatrendlines.com/author/patil
