I took an accounting course at school. I didn't think I'd be any good at it, but I came in second in my class!

That's awesome!  You speak the "language of business" as they call it.  I took some course myself and love measuring the results of economic activities for a company.

It is quite interesting. My sister-in-law is an accountant. She works for a big company.

That can be daunting with all those numbers to crunch but financial reporting is important since that is basically a synonym for accounting.

I found it interesting to learn to work my way around a balance sheet. It's like learning a new language!

It can be so foreign!  When I first started courses, I was struck by all the different fields in accounting from financial to management to, the one everyone is scared of, auditing. ha ha

Auditing! Another friend of mine is an auditor in Europe. She loves striking fear in the hearts of others, lol.

It is crazy how fearful everyone is of it.  If you're keeping your finances in order, you shouldn't be worried. Its only if you're making some bad choices that those auditors will gather evidence of all your errors and misstatements. yikes!

I know what you mean, but so many businesses are trying to avoid paying taxes. Sometimes they go overboard, if you know what I mean!
