Businesses these days strongly focus on lowering cost, implementing better accounting practices and having strong internal audit controls. Naturally the functions of the Accounting and Finance department are pivotal in the growth of the business. The role of Accounting resources goes beyond accounts payable/receivable, payroll, reporting and financial controls skills in today’s corporate environments. Employers these days are looking for sharp business acumen, leadership, customer service and expertise with IT/ERPs apart from the traditional accounting and finance skills.
