With the advent of the age of Information Technology, companies of all sizes are
increasingly reliant on computers. It is to their accountants that management very often
seek their advice on the use of computers for information management purposes.
In the face of growing complexity, change and competition, businessmen need expert
financial advice. Financial services have therefore, become a major growth areas, and is
also one in which many CPAs are serving.
The need for financial services is reflected in the greater demand for the specialization
services of merchant banks and other similar financial services organizations. Clients of
such services are advised on the merits of particular courses of action; on ways & means
to raise finance on the best terms and on the optimum utilization of their existing assets.
CPAs advice with their unique training and also expertise in financial accounting and
analysis are particularly sought by financial institutions and are highly demanded in the
financial services sector.
ROLE OF CPA

www.icpap.com.pk
With their wide experience in
finance and information systems
and their training in the areas of
analytical techniques, CPAs act as
specialists in firms of management
consultants. In fact, many firms of
practicing CPAs today operate their
own management consultancy
divisions. These management
consultants have undertaken
assignments to provide specialist’s
advice on such as business
strategy, financial management,
personnel administration,
information technology, production
planning, systems and financial
control.
The expansion in the responsibilities and financial commitments of
government departments and public sector entities in the recent years has
led to the growth in the number of appointments for qualified accountants.
The increasing interest in the public sector in the area of financial
management and control provides great opportunities for CPAs, undertaking
appointments such as treasury accountants, finance officers, tax officers of
government auditors.

www.icpap.com.pk

time, modern industrial and commercial organizations are obliged to adopt
new methods, skills and technology to maintain a competitive edge. To such
organizations, the CPAs with their thorough knowledge and extensive
exposure in financial affairs and business methods are invaluable assets. In
industry or commerce & trade, CPAs occupy positions as financial
controllers, management accountants, company secretaries or internal
auditors.
