Recommendations
1. The students enrolled in the Accountancy program need not be a fast learner
student but rather have a high comprehension skill. The program requires a
effect to the entity as whole. The program really deals with numbers and
quantifying data, but to enroll in the said program does not require the person
to be good in the subject Mathematics. It is does not also mean that once
enrolled as Bachelor of Science in Accountancy you are sleepless at night. It
just needs to be good in managing their limited time properly and read their
program must prepare themselves in the near future because as far as the
researchers are concern with the reality of the profession, it is good to say that
the profession is really highly in-demand in the society. The society has been
evolving and developing very rapidly and the profession is very much needed
entities require the hiring of Professional Accountants to help them prepare its
annual Financial Statements and some other financial works and concerns.
The students must also know that a Professional Accountant must be good in
decision making because the decision he/she makes is very much helpful in
the entities.
3. Although the Accountancy profession is one of the highest paying jobs in the
country, it does not mean that a Professional Accountant is earning its annual
salary that much. Like every other jobs and profession, it needs time, training
and promotion before getting into higher position and earn a high amount of
money.
