ACCOUNTING

What Accountants and Auditors Do:

Accountants and auditors prepare and exam-

ine financial records. They ensure that finan-

cial records are accurate and that taxes are

paid properly and on time. Accountants and

auditors assess financial operations and

work to help ensure that organizations run

efficiently.

Work Environment Most accountants

and auditors work full time. In 2014, about 1

in 5 worked more than 40 hours per week.

Longer hours are typical at certain times of

the year, such as at the end of the budget

year or during tax season.

How to Become an Accountant or

Auditor Most employers require a candi-

date to have a bachelor’s degree in account-

ing or a related field. Certification within a

specific field of accounting improves job

prospects. For example, many accountants

become Certified Public Accountants (CPAs).

Pay The median annual wage for account-

ants and auditors was $65,940 in May 2014.

Job Outlook Employment of accountants

and auditors is projected to grow 11 percent

from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the av-

erage for all occupations. In general, em-

ployment growth of accountants and audi-

tors is expected to be closely tied to the

health of the overall economy. As the econ-

omy grows, these workers will continue to

be needed to prepare and examine finan-

cial records.
