  • i just want to get a masters in accountant so i can be eligible to become a fbi agent

  • @sMCCarthyTV1

    I am taking accounting in college right now. You should know basic algebra to become an accountant, there is only little math - financial formulas most of the time. 

  • @lankycroat hi can u help me with something regarding accounts, what basis would you use(when doing overhead absorption rates) to apportion Power out of the following chocies, floor area, machine values, no of employees, no of direct employees, machine hrs, labour hrs, quality costs, indirect wages. thanks

  • SHE IS FITTT!!

  • Dose algebra have anything to do with accounting? because that's what I'm taking this year in High School.

  • I got an MBA, but not in Accounting Major. Is it possible for me to take CPA exam and get license and become a CPA someday? or Do I need to take any other courses to be qualify to do so?

  • @MusicLuv80 For the most part, the number crunching is done by computers and software. I got an undergraduate degree in finance and for some reason we had to take business calculus and statistics. I really hated statistics. Some schools require you to take upper math classes because in theory, this is supposed to help you understand the accounting process, even though you will use accounting software that does the calculations for you.

  • @BarcaWealthy No, many Masters in Accountancy programs will satisfy the required accounting credits you need to sit for the CPA exam. If you have an undergraduate degree in something else, finance, management, etc.., you can still enter a Masters of Accountancy program and get a Masters in accounting.

  • wow, she managed to maintain her monotone throughout entire clip. Riveting stuff....

  • I found my interest in accounting after earning my BA in sociology. Is it possible to earn enough hours for the CPA exam through only a masters program, a masters program and some additional classes or would I need another BA?
