Accounting

Why Study Accounting?

Why is accounting important? Keep in mind that it wasn’t the police who discovered the gangster Al Capone was behind the St. Valentine’s Massacre and thus put him in jail. It was an accountant who painstakingly researched Capone’s transactions and found his tax violations that did the trick.

To put it simply: without accounting and ethical accountants, businesses couldn’t grow and prosper. Accounting is the language of finance, and accountants are the soldiers on the front lines of financial success. They provide businesses with the data that determines the financial health of an organization and help inform solid business decisions.
