Accounting - The Language of Business

Accounting is commonly referred to as the language of business. Accounting provides much of the information managers need to make decisions concerning businesses, governmental units, and not-for-profit organizations. Accounting generates information about an organization's resources, the sources of those resources, and how effectively the resources have been used. The accountant prepares and interprets this information and, thus, is an important member of the leadership team of any organization.
