When the cat masturbates its chin

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Before anyone asks, I can't help you with your taxes unless it's a general question. I'm not a tax accountant, the IRC has changed since I took that part of the test, and frankly I just never liked studying tax accounting.

Other than that, have at it!

What made you go into the field? How's your salary?

1) Job security.
2) Not that high tbh because I work for the government. The benefits were too good to pass up, though.

What branch of accounting do you specialize in?

Auditing processes and financials. We (the unit I'm in) make sure no one is doing anything shady, and we write up reports so stakeholders (which in our sector is basically everybody) feel a good level of comfort that the agency/process/whatever is not suddenly just going to go kaboom and result in a loss. We're not required to guarantee anything (for ex., there could be fraud going on that our procedures don't catch), just required to show we were able to give reasonable assurance that everything's looking good.

What is a CPA?

Certified public accountant. It means I put myself through a lot of suffering to pass four exams and worked a certain number of hours on qualifying projects, all to earn a CPA license. Wikipedia explains it better (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_Public_Accountant) and has links.
