Accounting Department
  
Accounting provides the information necessary for evaluating the present and planned activities of complex organizations. It includes diverse services to individuals, business entities, and governments at all levels. Professional accountants develop and apply their skills in auditing, taxation, management policy, information systems, computer operations, and many other areas. As a result, accounting is currently a leading growth profession throughout the world. With instant communication facilities, easy international travel, and expanding world trade, accounting services have grown in scope and importance. Many Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms and companies have extensive international operations.
   New concepts and techniques are constantly being developed. The use of electronic data processing systems has relieved accountants of many of the routine tasks which were formerly performed manually. At the same time, the computer has increased the demand for skilled accountants to assist management in analyzing and summarizing the massive amounts of data generated. The computer has greatly increased accounting's effectiveness and has created new opportunities and challenges.
