Accountants are people who prepare, analyze, and check the accuracy of financial information. They can work in environments like the government, non-profit organizations, and private businesses.

Since they take care of the financial department in an organization or a company, a single mistake can cost the company .

Along with the stress that comes along, the responsibility of managing the financial affairs is also there. Since I graduated from a Canadian curriculum based school, I had to prepare quite a lot of presentations for different courses during my high school, so preparing a presentation was not that difficult. I have tried to provide all the necessary information so that it is easy to comprehend. As I am in college now, I had to keep in my mind that my presentation is as simple as possible so that it looks professional and also interests the audience and my instructor. Yet, me being an introvert and a shy person to speak up in front people, it is always difficult for me to present. The best part of this whole project was how I gathered information and build up my knowledge about something that really interest me which indeed really helped me to put my presentation together nicely. The reason that accountancy interests me is that how the program that I have chosen to study will give me the opportunity to explore the world of finance, economics, and accountancy, which will enable me to achieve my career goals. The Business Undergraduate Program in SFU is designed with modern courses and offers a wide variety of options to be specialized in business knowledge I am excited to see how the study techniques and the practical work experience will put me on the path to my dream job.
