It also gave my the opition of making an appointment with a career counselor plus it showed my governmental job/ internships that i could apply for. This website is extremely help it this time were job are hard to find and you have bigger and more advance people going out for the same job as you are.

Summary of Reading an Writing

I found out that there is alot of reading and writing when it comes to Accouting. The reason for that is that most accounting work that you do is by yourself, although there are some times when you have to work in a group the majority of the time it is only you. So when it comes to reading and writing it is extremely important that you are able to convay your thoughts on to paper so that other people are able to understand what your trying to say, where you are coming from and how you got their. If you dont know how to write down the information that you have gathered could get other people in trouble when it comes to their money and also if you dont know how to put your information down all the reasearch that you have been doing can be lost with in your whole presentation and then forgotten.

Website

THE WEBSITE THAT I HAVE CHOSEN TO GO WITH IS THE WWW.GFOA.COM, WHICH MEANS GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION. THIS WEBSITE HELPS BY "SUPPORTING AND LEADING FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR GOVERNMENT AND THEIR CITIZENS." THIS WEBSITE HELPS BECAUSE IT GIVES U JOB OPENING IN GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING AND GIVES U UP DATES IN POLICY AND THEN OFFERS TRAINING CLASSES THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO BRUSH UP ON WHAT IS NEW POLICIES OR RULES ARE NEW IN THE ACCOUNTING WORLD. THIS WEBSITE REQUIRES AN MEMBERSHIP TO VIEW ALL THE IN DEPTH THING, SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT HAVE, SO I AM LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN GO TO. bUT EVEN WITH THIS LIMITATION THERE IS STILL ALOT OF THING THAT ARE OPEN TO ME.

journal on accounting

The journal part is not going to be something that i enjoy, in fact i find it extremely boring and dull. But since i have to do it and their isn't a lot to choose from, i will be looking at the The Governmental Accountant Jounal for my research into governmental accounting. It is a magazine that forces on governmental accounting if you didn't know that from the title. I am not sure how this is going to help me since both people that i interview said that they normal don't read accounting book unless they have to for research so yea.
