How did you get your job?Was it advertised? Were you interviewed for it?Was the

When I was looking for a job, I looked on the city’s hall website. On the
website I found the requirements of the job, so I prepared my CV and applied for
the job. They gave me some laws to read in order to attend a written test. After I
past the written test, I had an interview with the manager. After a few hours they
public the list with the grades so I knew they given me the job.

"Which are the divisions of accounting?"

The field of accounting is divided into three divisions: public, private and
governmental. Public accounting consists largely of auditing and tax services,
while, private accounting consists in financial records of a business. Governmental
and institutional accounting refers at the work in governmental offices or for
nonprofit organizations, consisting in legal retrictions in the way in which they
receive and spend funds.

Because the tax laws have grown increasingly, business enterprises,

government agencies, and nonprofit organizations all employ public accountants
either regulary or on a part-time basis because the tax laws have grown
increasingly.

Governmental accountants tend to become specialists in limited fields like

transportation or public utilities.

In private accounting, accountants perform cost accounting, audits,managerial

accountanting. Some large corporations employ hundreds of employees in their
accounting offices, the corporation’s staff being specialized.

"Difference between accounting/bookkeeping"

In the past, a bookkeeper kept the books of accounts for an organization, the
present day accountant’s job developed from the bookkeeper’s job. The difference
between accounting and bookkeeping is that bookkeeping is an accounting tool.
The accountant sets up a bookkeeping system and interprets the data in it, whereas
the bookkeeper performs the routine work of recording figures in the books. The
bookkeeper simply enters data in financial record books, while the accountant must
understand the entire system of records so that he or she can analyze and interpret
business transactions.

The bookkeeper is a key person in the organization’s system of financial

information as he or she must record very careful each detail in its proper place.
The bookkeeper is also maintaining the records for the computation of taxes that
are to be deducted and withheld, and the completion of government forms.

The accounting is a basic and vital element in every modern business as careful
analysis of records and trends may suggest the ways in which the business may
grow in the future.

"How is the bookkeeping system structured?"

The bookkeeping system is structured in two basic systems: double-entry and

single-entry. Many bookkeeping systems include journals and records for specific
types of transactions like: invoices, vouchers, cash disbursement register, cash
receipts journal.

The basic principle of double-entry bookkeeping is that every transaction has a

twofold effect, meaning, a value is received and a value is yielded or parted with.
Both effects, which are equal in amount, must be entered completely in the
bookkeeping records.

The single-entry bookkeeping does not include the complete results of every
transaction. The most common type of single-entry bookkeeping involves records
of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
