Associates Accounting
Employment of accountants and auditors is expected to grow over 18% for all occupations through the year 2014. An increase in the number of businesses, and changing financial laws and regulations will drive growth.
An increased need for accountants and auditors will arise from changes in legislation related to taxes, financial reporting standards, business investments, mergers, and other financial events. The growth of international business also has led to more demand for accounting expertise and services related to international trade and accounting rules. Also, the development of electronic surveillance technology has increased the investigation success rates and demand for forensic accountants.*
