In fact, certified public accountants are only necessary professional certificates for intermediate accountants. In terms of employment, large state-owned enterprises, foreign-funded companies and a few private enterprises will have better employment opportunities. As a migrant worker, CPA is not the strongest profession even in the financial field, because there are ACCA, AIA, CGA and CFA, of which the annual salary of ACCA and CFA is usually not less than 250,000, and the annual salary of the undergraduate who is the first in the global ACCA exam is 1.5 million, plus LAWRANCE and bonuses, it is more than 200,000 a year. This is a relatively hard professional certificate.
To put it simply, CPA, the employment situation in different cities is different, mainly depending on your job position, FS, FM, FD, FC, and wages of different levels are certainly different. Generally speaking, CPA is competitive in first-tier cities, but it is quite competitive in second-and third-tier cities.
For example, the financial director of Shenyang Coca-Cola (equivalent to FM) is about 5K-8K a month, and the annual salary is about1.2000 RMB. The FM salary of Shanghai Pepsi Cola is about 25K-30K per month, and the annual salary is about 450,000.
Friends downstairs, hehe, everyone has a different starting point. If you think CPA is your destination, that's good. A contented mind is perpetual feast. PS, the intermediate title is basically an invalid certificate of a foreign-funded company. Ha ha.
By the way, I'm not a certified public accountant, but I know them very well and come into contact with them at least at this level every day. I am not a panda, but I know pandas. Hehe, you don't have to be this identity to know everything, or your knowledge will grow too slowly.
Generally speaking, as a certified public accountant, if you have higher aspirations, there is still a lot of room for improvement. If you're satisfied, well, that's enough.
By the way, of course, there are many senior financial personnel who only have CPA and no other certificates. This is because of their age. Many junior college students who came out of Lixin have now reached the same high level as FC in China and even Greater China, with CICPA. But this is related to their age. Most of them graduated in the early 1990s. Have rich experience. It is understood that the China Institute of Certified Public Accountants currently has about 6.5438+0.4 million members. If the accountants in China want to meet the future demand, they need at least 300,000 certified public accountants.
Mr. Liao Zhongmin, Chairman of the Beijing Committee of the Australian Institute of Accountants, said that there are three main reasons for the shortage of certified public accountants in China. First, in recent years, enterprises have flourished, the number of registered merchants in China has been increasing, and the business activities of enterprises have been frequent, which has increased the demand for accounting and auditing services, thus increasing the market demand for certified public accountants; Second, the convergence of China's accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has improved the requirements of enterprises for internal audit and corporate governance, which has also become the second reason for the increase in the demand for certified public accountants; The increase in the number of listed companies is the third reason for the increase in the demand for certified public accountants.
China's new accounting system, which was implemented on June 5438+ 10, is further in line with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This will not only increase the transparency of China companies and attract foreign investment, but also help China companies to expand overseas markets. In the transitional period of implementing the new accounting system, a large number of international accounting talents will undoubtedly contribute to the smooth completion of this transition.
With the acceleration of economic globalization in China, the demand for international accounting talents in China will be increasingly strong.
Beijing has the largest number of certified public accountants in China.
In an interview with the accountant training department, the reporter learned that registered accountants in Beijing have four obvious characteristics.
First, the number of accountants ranks first in the country. By the end of September 2006, there were 404 accounting firms affiliated to the Beijing AICPA Association, of which 47 firms set up branches in different places, accounting for188; CPA 10655, of which 62.4% have bachelor degree or above, and 63.6% are under 40. Secondly, the industry income ranks first in the country year after year. In 2005, the business income of accounting firms was 3.85 billion yuan, an increase of 23.28% over the previous year. The third is the concentration of large and medium-sized enterprises. Among the information of 100 accounting firms published by the AICPA in 2005, Beijing accounted for 4 1, among which there were 7 before 10. Of the 72 companies with securities and futures business qualifications in China, 26 are in Beijing. Finally, the business scope continues to expand, and the position of market economy is increasingly prominent. The depth and breadth of CPA's participation in economic construction are constantly expanding, and its business scope has expanded from capital verification, accounting statement audit and asset evaluation to many economic activities such as tax agency, listed company audit, judicial audit, outgoing audit, assets verification of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, enterprise bankruptcy liquidation authentication service and management consulting service, which has become a new force to promote the prosperity and development of the capital economy.
International certified public accountants need four abilities.
Liao, chairman of the Beijing Committee of the Australian Institute of Accountants, said that in addition to basic professional skills, an international certified public accountant should also have the ability to communicate, analyze affairs, solve problems and continue learning in English.
Skilled professional knowledge is a must for international certified public accountants. Employers with an international vision need to hire international accountants who are proficient in professional knowledge, familiar with local and international accounting standards, understand foreign market operation rules and relevant laws and regulations, master the latest industry knowledge, and always stand at the forefront of the profession and industry to join their accounting team.
In the face of fierce international competition, foreign languages become more and more important as a business tool. Mastering professional and accurate financial English and proficient English communication skills have long been the basic requirements of international accountants.
An excellent international accountant, with clear thinking and strong logical ability, can find connections from various complex financial and non-financial information for inductive analysis, effectively supervise the economic operation of enterprises and solve various financial problems, which is indispensable.
In the era of increasingly updated knowledge, professional accountants need to have a strong thirst for knowledge and strong learning ability, update their professional knowledge at any time, and strive to broaden their knowledge structure and professional vision. This is an important skill to ensure that it does not lag behind the times, can always grasp the development trend of the industry, and stand at the forefront of the industry development.
Three ways to meet market demand
At present, the situation of talents in domestic accounting industry is that financial talents such as high-end certified public accountants are extremely scarce.
"The Australian Institute of Accountants provides various services and resources for training professional accounting talents." Liao said that the CPA Program professional examination and MentorProgram work experience program provided by the Australian Institute of Accountants can not only help accountants obtain the qualification of Australian certified public accountants, but also improve their technical knowledge, business skills, ability to analyze and solve problems, and at the same time enable them to gain more development opportunities in different industries around the world, so that they can give full play to their strengths.
In addition, the Australian Institute of Accountants previously launched the "2006 Asian Student Internship Program". In the "2006 Asian Student Internship Program" held in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, on the one hand, the Australian Association hopes that employers can reach out to some potential accounting students through the internship program, so as to explore the talents needed by the company; On the other hand, I hope these accounting students can accumulate relevant professional work experience through this internship, get exercise and improvement in the real working environment, and lay a foundation for future career development.
The salary of certified public accountants
The salary of accountants (the salary of accountants in 2008) is a sensitive topic, not only because of the different nature of enterprises, but also because enterprises think that the salary belongs to both business secrets and personal privacy, and they are often reluctant to disclose it.
Generally speaking, newcomers can be promoted to senior auditors after entering the enterprise for 2-3 years. About 2 years later, he was promoted to manager; About 3 years, promoted to senior manager; You can be promoted to partner after 3-4 years.
The monthly salary of students who just graduated and entered the four major international accounting firms is about 5,000 yuan; The monthly salary of managers is about 20,000-40,000 yuan; The higher you go, the higher your monthly salary will be. The salary generally consists of monthly salary 13 to 14 months per year, plus dividends, benefits and bonuses.
