According to Statistics Canada the occupation of accounting has benefited from the
extension of the accountant's role. No longer just limited to producing and auditing
accounting records, accountants are now increasingly involved in areas such as financial
strategy development, performance indicator and financial information analysis,
environmental safety assessments, computer system audits and corporate restructuring.
This trend should be maintained and should continue to stimulate employment in this
occupation.
