How Do I Prepare to Study Accounting in University?

By Arshad Ahmad

Make sure you have the math prerequites. Everything else can be a bonus. More important is to start learning about the profession. Read the business section of the Globe or Financial Times.  Read the Economist. Talk to your parents and their friends, or better to alumni. Ask them out to lunch and fire questions for their valuable insights and experience.

Arshad Ahmad, Department of Finance, Concordia University, and 3M National Teaching Fellow.
