corporate accounting vs public accounting
How very different accounts of companies in public accounting?
I guess there are different standards and things that are specific public accounting, but you said it was very different? I mean, would it be difficult for someone to transition from the corporate accounting field of public accounting?
I believe that corporate accounting is also called "private accounts" – in this case would working for the accounting department in the company, whereas if you are in public accounting, you will be coming and reviews the work of the department accounts of that company. Therefore, if you have the ABC, which is an airline, the company ABC hire accountants to take care of the company ABC Books. This is private / Business – This counter will be on the payroll of the company ABC. Then, an external and independent accounting will be hired to determine the accuracy the books of the company ABC are either through a compilation, review or audit engagement. To be carried out by the public accounting firm. As for the transition from one to another, depends on private enterprise. If this is a great company that is responsible for accurate accounting, and is working in such circumstances, can be well versed enough in Public Accounting. Many small businesses have an accounting department that is more than just a bookkeeper, and usually takes a lot more experience, education, and pass the CPA exam to succeed in public accounting. I think once in Public Accounting the transition to private accounts would be easier, through a public accountant becoming involved in the nuts and bolts of debits and credits offered some challenges. I still feel like going from public to private is easier, in most cases, then the reverse. Accounting position is kept private standards set by the Company and / or board, with some input from the CPA firm that hired. A public accounting position is held to standards, in general, the GAAP / AICPA.
