What are the types of accounting services?

Public Accounting

Also known as assurance services, public accounting is the broadest type of accounting as it covers bookkeeping, financial analysis, and account management services.

Public accountants take care of the preparation, review, and audit of financial statements; tax work including income tax returns, estate, and tax planning; and do consulting activities for their clients.

Management Accounting

Management accounting focuses on identifying, measuring, analysing, interpreting, and communicating important financial information to the higher ups. It looks at both past and present data to have a forecast of the business.

This accounting service is aimed at analysing the company’s financial statements, which the managers use in making crucial decisions.

Governmental Accounting

If public accounting is for businesses and individuals, governmental accounting is for government entities to make sure their revenues and expenditures are accounted for according to the law.

Internal Auditing

Internal auditing is the process of reviewing your financial and accounting practices, identifying mismanagements, exposing fraud in your processes, and testing your compliance with laws and industry regulations.

There are also specializations in this area, such as information technology auditing, compliance auditing, and environmental auditing to know where you can still improve.

 

The industry’s increasing demands also meant that complexities around the practice arise. One option you can consider is to find a reliable accounting outsourcing service provider that can help your organisation.
