As Singapore gears up to become an accounting hub by 2020, more career opportunities will be growing in the accounting sector. To inspire young people to consider a career in accountancy, ACCA and Nanyang Polytechnic are taking the lead to prepare young talents for this opportunity through the NYP-ACCA Accounting Challenge, now in its second year. This fun and interactive competition is designed to showcase the dynamic aspects of the accountancy profession. Accountants today do more than just keeping the books or crunching numbers as they play an integral part in any organisation. Accounting professionals can work in public practice such as the Big 4 or other accounting firms and the work ranges from auditing to tax to consulting work. In commercial organisations, accountants’ roles include internal auditors, management accountants, financial controllers and chief financial officers.
