Ntu Accounting.
-
Hmm, Ntu send me a letter(so fast) say i accepted for Ntu accounting course.
Actually i don't really know why i applied, juz heard my fren say gd. Anyway, i also not v.interested in going Ntu, but then, I think i might not have a choice coz doubt Nus Chem Engine is gonna accept me or something.
So, anyone know what is accounting all about and what is job prospect and $$$ prospect and stuff... I was triple science(lan lan one) all the way la.
I heard is 3yrs and very slack but isit better compared to SMU one... Now like SMU the craze 4 all the biz stuff.. So i not sure. Or shld i stick it out in some other engine course in Nus like maybe material/etc engine..? -

accounting.... includes book keeping, recording all ur cashflow, inventory etc..
its a rather dry thing... unless u have interest in this... most ppl will think of it as boring..
and it is.. in my opinion, rather boring =X
but i love accounts
even more so for finance -

dont accept the cos if you got no interest in it or else you will find it very boring ..

Dun think accountacy is slack... In fact, since its a 3-year direct honours course, alot of stuff is being squeezed in.... Its almost impossible to compare whether SMU's acc is betta than NTU's.... SMU is always boosting abt their "different" kind of education system.... So its really up to u whether u wanna spend an extra year in getting tat "special" education from SMU or just stick with NTU... IMO, try to study wat u haf interest in than to follow the crowd... (unless u r bounded by some sponsorship to take a certain course like me...

My take on this..
Accounting like engineering is a professional degree.. professional in the sense that its a basic cert to get you up to level of CPA (certified public accountant) or for engineering the PE (professional engineer).
The NTU accounting course basically starts off with basics.. 1st year is very simliar to NTU business.. take basic enttry level business and financial accounting modules.. then gradually in years 2 and 3 diverge and more heay accounting takes place..
after graduating with an accounting degree i think if you are good you can be able to easily get a job in one of the big 4.. namely KPMG, Ernst & Young, PricewaterCooperHouse and Deloitte & Touche.. these are the big names in INTERNATIONAL accounting and auditing.. most will want to start their accounting degrees here. these big 4 firms are engaged by other companies.. listed or not listed to check their financial statements.. cashflow.. profit and loss and generate periodical financial statements.. the process of doing this is called auditing.. its mainly to report on the firms performance to the shareholders or the public (for public listed companies)
its basically coporate ladder once you get in.. you start of as a junior following seniors and other as a group going around to do audit.. slowly over a few years you will get promoted based on performance then you can slowly rise to audit senior, team leader... asst VP, VP.... Chief.. officer.. of course the pay rise over the years will also be based on your experience but from what i hear my friend say.. its quite substantial.. the rise are quite a lot very year.. although starting can be very small..
but one thing about these big firms are the tendencies to go into office politics.. my friend went around a few firms trying to avoid this stuff.
there are smaller audit firms.. those that are started my locals.. accounting grads can also end up there.. the stuff they do are exactly the same as the big audit firms.. but as they small they go after smaller firms.. usually not the listed ones.. charge small fee.. so pay less..
another likely place is internal audit or finance dept or ANY company these are the people that record financial activities in the company.. and every year prepare for audit..
can be a very stressful job (all the types) esp near audit season.. they have peak and off peak seasons.. if they are stressed they can be in the office til.. very late..very very late.. -
If you get the ntu accounting cert,you can be an auditer also.which in my opinion is more fun la.but c'mon man an accounting cert is still a business cert doesn't mean you onli can do acc in future.wan to sit outside toilet count the number of 10 cents also can.its a business cert.
-
personally btw auditing and chemical engineering.. i will take the latter..
