What It Means:
Accounting professionals play a crucial role in any successful business. Possibly the most important contribution is
collecting and analyzing data which they use to give management feedback that is vital to business planning. For example, a
smart company wouldn't plan a future expansion without a recommendation from its accounting department, and the accounting
department would only make a positive recommendation after extensive research and analysis of data related to business trends,
historical growth, budgets and profits.
To achieve optimal results, accounting professionals draw on a wealth of technical resources. They create databases to mine
and analyze meaningful data. They interpret financial data and statements using BI tools, ERP applications and data
integration technologies. They use Internet technologies and financial electronic commerce as tools in the accounting process
and in the context of accounting cycles. In fact, today's accounting professionals must possess technical knowledge to perform
even the most basic day-to-day tasks in today's digital marketplace.
