My future profession is accounting and auditing. Accountancy profession is one of the most ancient in the world. It appeared 6000 years ago, when primitive people began to control and register their economic activity. The ancient Egypt is considered to be a motherland of accounting. And Ancient Greece is well-known as a birthplace of accounting tools as abacus, just there the first money and coins were created.

In the early 90, when the privatization and various types of ownership forms widely spread, accounting became the most popular specialty, and now it is in high demand. Neither huge company and factory nor shops and banks can't work without accountant. The accountant does the work of the various types of accounting: accounting of fixed assets, the cost of production, payment to suppliers and customers, payroll and taxes. Accountant can work in enterprises of different ownership forms: public, shareholder, cooperative, private, carries out work on various types of accounting. The accountant conducts economic analysis of production processes, as a result he identifies reserves, losses and eliminates nonproductive expenses. While the state exists with tax system and financial reporting, accountants will be needed. During the last 5 - 7 years the demand in accountants is fairly stable. No doubts, its character, scope, requirements for specialists are changing but demand naturally remains. I think that the best candidate for this profession is a person who has such skills as responsibility, attentiveness, also he needs not to forget about good memory and logical thinking, he should be good at math and of course to be keen on accounting.

From childhood I was very keen on math and like to work with numbers, economy was always interesting sphere for me so I attended economical classes at high school. When the time came I easily chose the major at university. So I haven't complain about my choice yet.
