Related to Accountant: chartered accountantAccountantA person who has the requisite skill and experience in establishing and maintaining accurate financial records for an individual or a business. The duties of an accountant may include designing and controlling systems of records, auditing books, and preparing financial statements. An accountant may give tax advice and prepare tax returns. A public accountant renders accounting or auditing services for a number of employees, each of whom pays the accountant a fee for services rendered. He or she does more than just bookkeeping but does not generally have all the qualifications of a certified public accountant. A certified public accountant is one who has earned a license in his or her state that attests to a high degree of skill, training, and experience. In addition to passing an accounting examination, a candidate must have the proper business experience, education, and moral character in order to qualify for the license. The letters CPA are commonly used and generally recognized to be the abbreviation for the title Certified Public Accountant. The practice of accounting is a highly skilled and technical profession that affects public welfare. It is entirely appropriate for the state to regulate the profession by means of a licensing system for accountants. Some states do not permit anyone to practice accounting except certified public accountants, but other states use the title to recognize the more distinguished skills of a CPA while permitting others to practice as public accountants. All states limit the use of the title and the initials to those who are licensed as certified public accountants. All accountants are held to high standards of skill in issuing professional opinions. They can be sued for Malpractice if performance of their duties falls below standards for the profession. ACCOUNTANT. This word has several significations: 1. One who is versed inaccounts; 2. A person or officer appointed to keep the accounts of a publiccompany; 3. He who renders to another or to a court a just and detailedstatement of the administration of property which he holds as trustee,executor, administrator or guardian. Vide 16 Vin. Ab. 155. Accountant
AccountantA professional who maintains financial records, notes expenses or revenue, and/or determines how much one owes or is owed. Accountants seek to assure that every individual or company pays, or is paid, the correct amount. There are several different types of accounting, each of which reports revenue and earnings differently from other methods. Two major methods accountants use are accrual accounting and cash accounting. Accrual accounting recognizes revenue and matches it with the expenses that generated that revenue. Cash accounting, on the other hand, recognizes revenue and expenses in the order in which they are received or spent.
Accountants play an important role in personal finance as well. One may hire an accountant to maintain accurate records, to ensure that enough money remains to pay one's bills. Likewise, people use accountants to pay personal or corporate taxes in the correct amount. See also: CPA, LIFO, FIFO.See ACCT
