If I were an accountant two business sectors that I would be interested in would be in management accounting or forensic accounting. Management accounting is being available to management within companies to provide them with information that will overall help them manage and control the business more efficiently. Business recovery is helping businesses in financial distress to recover financially. While I am not interested in the accounting field, these were two sections that really caught my eye. I currently run three Subway stores as a General Manager, so the management accounting is a sector that I know from experience would be very helpful to a business. Personal experience is what would peak my interest into this field. Forensic accounting is investigative accounting or auditing that is suitable for a court of law. Law has always been a big interest for me. I think that auditing and investigation would be a very interesting and fulfilling job.
The company that I chose and researched was Feely and Driscoll. This is a company that provides forensic accounting and auditing services. I imagine that working for this company would be very interesting. I imagine that as a CPA I would be handed files and company information that I would have to audit to look for fraud or other issues. There may also be cases of profit analysis. Once the investigations are complete, I imagine that compiling the information suitable for court would be very tedious and time consuming. However, I imagine that this would be a very fulfilling job as we would be helping companies become stronger and more profitable and taking care of fraud
