Accounting Online Schools

Online Accounting Schools allow you to obtain an education without ever stepping foot in a classroom. You can earn 100 percent of the credits needed for a degree through an online school or distance learning program! An accounting degree obtained online is just as valid as a degree from a traditional school. An online accounting degree qualifies the graduate to perform important financial functions, such as bookkeeping, payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, tax auditing, and many more.

Online Accounting Schools instruct in professional accounting standards and ethics, financial accounting, management, cost control, budget control, taxes, legal issues, auditing, accounting principles and theory, reporting, statement analysis, research, planning and consulting.

There are three types of Accountants: Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and Certified Public Accountant (CPA). CPAs must be licensed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which qualifies them to perform auditing, accounting, litigation, tax, and financial advisory services.

Most accredited Online Accounting Schools offer Associate, Bachelor, and Master Degrees as well as certification for entry-level accounting positions. A college degree is required to become a Certified Accountant, and you can obtain an online degree at your convenience over the Internet. Most employers prefer a Bachelor's Degree with an emphasis on Finance or Accounting. A Master's Degree in Business (MBA) further increases the graduate's employment potential, qualifying him or her for positions with more authority and responsibility, and greater earning power.
