My future speciality
I’m a student of Polotsk State University. The students are trained to be specialists for different branches of our economy. I’m going to be an accountant.
At the University we study many economic subjects. Economics is the science which is based upon the facts of our everyday life. The science of economics is concerned with all our material needs and wants. Economists study the facts of the economy in which we live and try to explain how the system works.
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying and summarizing economic events in a logical manner. The accounting process follows accounting principles and rules. Regardless of the type of business or the amount of money involved, common procedures for handling and presenting financial information are used. Incoming money (revenues) and outgoing money (expenditures) are carefully monitored. Transactions are summarized in financial statements which reflect the major financial activities of an organization. Two common financial statements are the balance sheet and the income statement. The balance sheet shows the financial position of a company at one point in time. The income statement shows the financial performance of a company over a period of time. Financial statements allow interested parties to compare one organization to another and/or to compare accounting periods within one organization.
People who specialize in the field of accounting are known as accountants. If you are considering setting up your own business, an accountant is the best person to give you financial advice. To run your business well you must know what money you have received, how much money you have spent, and most important of all how you spent it. It is the legal requirement that proper financial records are kept and the basic principle is to record every single transaction. One of the purposes is to ascertain whether you have made a profit or loss during a given period. Profit could be described as the difference between the value of the business at the start of trading period and the value of the business at the end of
126
that period. So, the function of an accountant is to provide quantitative information that managers can use to make decisions.
To become a highly-specialized accountant one must be a diligent student. When graduating from the University we can work as governmental accountants at governmental agencies or bureaus. We can also work for private companies and individuals and provide accounting services such as auditing and tax computation.
