There are several accounting conventions used all over the world for the preparation of financial information so that these are consistent and comparable. Some of these concepts are \nHistorical cost convention\nAccrual concept\nPrudence concept\nMatching concept\n\nTransactions are entered in the books of accounts of an organization when they occur i.e when the parties involved are liable to settle the transaction. Most of the time cash is not paid at the time of transaction. It has to be paid later or is paid in advance. Hence the organization has to record accrual and prepayments.

To be an accountant, you will need a college education. If you have an accounting class available, then obviously take it. Any other business related classes are also advisable.  Make sure that you have acceptable math skills, and any computer classes you can take would be great.\n\nThe important part will be once you get into college.  Make sure you get into a university with an accredited Accounting program. You can find a list at the AACSB website:\n\nhttp://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/AccreditedMembers.asp\n\nOnce you get into college, talk to your advisor about possible education paths. States now require that you have 150 credit hours of university to complete the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.  Some people choose to do a dual degree, but most instead decide to get a Masters of Accountancy degree (MAcc).  \n\nAccounting is a great area if you enjoy it.  Most people still associate accounting with "bookkeeping" but you can't be farther from the truth. Additionally, Sarbanes-Oxley has greatly increased the demand for accountants, although that demand likely will go down in the near future.

If anatomy and/or physiology is an available major, take that. Otherwise go with a biology major, and maybe minor in business.

Major in Accounting...then go to grad school.  Most states require 150 credit hours, and specific accounting coursework to sit for the CPA exam.  Some states also require public accounting experience.\n\nYou could also major in something else too...though Accounting would be the quickest way to finish.  I was Marketing undergrad....and I'm about to sit for the CPA exam in Maryland sometime next year.  \n\nBest Wishes to you!\n\nWould like to add that it's well worth it too! The work is good and stable.\n\ncheck out:\nhttp://www.nsacct.org/index.asp

Yes, good career path.  You can go the accounting route or finance route for entry level position.  However, if you want the top jobs consider a MBA or a CPA.  Also, learn Excel well.  The more advance the better.  You will need it.  Good luck.

For an accounting degree, the number of required math courses really depends on the school you go to.\n\nWhere I went, there were only two required math courses, one was basic calculus and the other was random.\n\nWhile you don't need to know much beyond addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (and even then we have computers and calculators to do most of the actual work), the ability to understand how the numbers in the income statement or balance sheet relate to each other is very important.\n\nIn short, math itself is not that important, but understanding the relationships between different elements is.

Why not double major? That way you get what you want. Or as they say your cake and eat it too

With a degree in economics I have always been told it's not very useful to get a job with. It is more usesful to start a business with. Although economics is very important and in my opinion the smartest people have high understandings of economics, I have always been told to pair it with anouther major. The most useful feild to use econ in are all feilds relating to finance, but most of those position require a degree in finance. Thus I am majoring in Econ and finance with an accounting minor.

Most dentists do major in some type of science for their bachelor's degree, however, you can major in whatever you like.  For example, I have known dentists that were psychology majors.

First, don't be overly concerned as to what you should major in. A student who declares his major when he applies for the freshman year will change his major, on average, four times before he graduates. You should major in what you enjoy the most and you will know a lot more about what you like after you have taken some college courses. You should be aware that to be an attorney you will have to attend law school after earning your bachelor's degree. You can major in almost anything and go to law school but you would be well advised to take a fair amount of history and government courses.\n\nAs to your interest in business, if you want a degree in accounting I would suggest that you take a five-year course that would give you not only a bachelor's degree but would prepare you to take the CPA examination, after you have the appropriate amount of experience.\n\nIf you don't like computer engineering, I would guess that a major in computer science might not be the best way to go for you. Most computer programmers that I have known have had a tendency to burn out and turn to something else, such as teaching computer science. If you have any interest in teaching, however, that is an excellent field but you would have to include the professional education courses in your credits in order to teach at the secondary level.\n\nI think you have applied to excellent universities and that you should visit as many of them as you can to get a "feel" for how you would like them.\n\ns
