The increasing complexity of the current business and regulatory environment has created an increased demand for accountants who can analyze business transactions and interpret their effects on financial statements. In addition, a basic ability to analyze the effects of transactions is necessary to be successful in all fields of business as well as in other disciplines, such as law. To better understand the importance of accounting in today's environment, search the Internet or your local newspaper for job opportunities. One possible Internet site is http://www.careerbuilder.come. Then do the following: 1. Find one advertisement for an accounting job. 2. Then find one advertisement for a non-accounting job, that prefers or requires some knowledge about accounting. 3. For your initial post, share the accounting job and non-accounting job information you found. You may attach what you found to your discussion board post, or you may share the link(s) in your post. Compare and contrast the requirements of both job positions. innuccion: 100
