1. EXTERNAL 1.1 The Accountancy Profession
There is a difference between an accountant and an auditor. An auditor gives additional guarantee to the board and management about how the business is in control and about the adequacy of the risk control systems within the company. An accountant checks if the annual report of an organization gives a true and fair view of the reality. A financial auditor is mostly educated as accountant.
Within the accountancy sector, there are many different firms to start your career. The best-known companies are the Big Four. The companies of the Big Four are: Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC. The Big Four companies are located worldwide and are the largest accountancy firms. However, many other accountancy firms also offer auditing services. The main difference between the Big Four and other accountancy firms is that the Big Four checks all the biggest firms, which have more rules to cope with for their annual report. Besides the additional responsibilities the Big Four has with checking the listed companies, the Big Four is also able to offer more financial services to companies than the smaller accountancy firms. In the accountancy sector it is really normal to continue your studies after your master degree to become a registered accountant. See below what it takes to become a registered accountant. If an accountant becomes a registered accountant, he or she becomes a member of a professional body. The professional bodies encourages the accountancy profession. Professional bodies take care of the quality of the business and stimulating development within the business.
In the accountancy sector, you could be working in the audit or in the assurance. As auditor your main task is to investigate the accessibility, clarity and accuracy of financial information. An auditor checks the quality of the financial information and how well the information is conveyed throughout the company. Where an auditor checks the information, in the assurance the quality of the information will be improved. The main task is to give the company the right information, so the business decisions could be made better. In this booklet the working fields will be explained as well as the career opportunities in these working fields.
1.2 Auditing (controlepraktijk)
An accountant working in the audit assesses if the annual report gives an accurate representation of the company’s financials. The accountant determines which financials could be at risk and gives these items extra attention. This is done by looking how the financials are made- up and how it is reported in their administration. Accountancy firms use randomly taken samples within the company to determine if the processes are correct within the company. Besides the randomly taken samples, the accountant also talks with the people of the company about the financials. The accountants are also able to get all the information they need from the company to determine if the financials are right. To increase certainty that the annual report is correct, the accountant has interim-checks at the company. During the interim-checks, the accountant checks the business processes and determines if the system information is the same as the real-time information. The accountant tries to check if the company does not commit any fraud within the organization. If everything is checked and gives a true and fair view, the accountant provides an audit report. Big companies have the obligation to have their annual report checked by an accountant. Some small and medium sized companies can make the choice to hire an accountant to check their annual report. A reason to do this would be to show trustworthiness to investors.
