Accounting Personal Statement

The way I think of Accounting is that it is a fundamental part of our way of life. This is because I believe that every person in the world uses the principle of Accounting at least once in their lives. It can be things that they do in their daily life, for example, checking how much money they have with them, or how much they have spent; or they use it in businesses and large-scale transactions where it is commonly known.

My main ambition for the future is to become a Chartered Accountant. I am hoping university will provide me with an understanding of the business world as well as offering me a wide range of choices and connections after my course.

I am currently studying an Undergraduete Certificate in Finance and as I developed an interest in it, I would like to continue studying Accouting and Finance at the university. I also studied and completed AAT Level 2 and AAT Level 3 because I feel that these subjects complement each other. I also felt that, during revision, it helped me prepare for all my exams. Accounting Studies has given me a real insight on how the business world operates and what you need to do to succeed in business. Finance has taught me how to analyse and interpret data. It made me also develop theories about how people, the companies they run and the economy they live in, behave.

I am currently working in an accounting environment where my position is as an Assistant Accountant. I have gain the knowledge and experience of working at an accountancy department, while showing me the skills and knowledge required for a future career. My duties included basic administration such as payroll, filing client records, creating invoices, on the system and the inputting data of client's records. As part of my continued interest in the financial markets, I enjoy reading The Economist and the Financial Times when I am able to, as it provides an insight into business organisations, their financial transactions and the state of the economy.
