Important Updates for Investors
Carla Pasternak's Premiere Issue of High-Yield International Just
Released
Income expert Carla Pasternak's debut issue of High-Yield
International covers a Taiwanese manufacturer yielding 9.5%... a
rare Mexican monopoly yielding 13.4%... and other top-performing
investments yielding up to 19.0%.
Government's Biofuel Timetable Could Spell +15,900% Growth
+15,900% growth might seem far-fetched... but it's not. In fact, it
is mandated by law. And I've identified the ONLY stock positioned to
capture this growth.
The
Silver Lining to a Falling Dollar
Despite the U.S. national debt, there is a silver lining for income
investors. This massive spending, combined with movement out of U.S.
Treasuries, is going to take its toll on the dollar, and
international income investors could reap the rewards in the form of
higher dividends. |

| Accountant |
What It Is:
An accountant is a trained, knowledgeable person who performs functions necessary
to compile, inspect, interpret, and/or report financial statements and tax
returns that comply with governmental and regulatory authority requirements.
How It Works/Example:
Accountants often work in a company’s accounting department, at an auditing
firm, or in a private practice. Regardless of where they work, an accountant’s
work generally revolves around recording, measuring, and presenting financial
information.
In a company’s accounting department, accounting functions often include
billing customers, collecting payment, paying vendors and employees, reconciling
bank accounts, calculating and remitting taxes, and correctly recording
transactions among subsidiaries and ventures. They also include creating
budgets, setting spending policies, and making or participating in major
business decisions.
Audit work includes verifying a company’s financial
information, helping a company determine the appropriate accounting treatment
for complex transactions, and providing public opinions about the quality of a
company’s accounting records. Accountants in private practice may provide
bookkeeping services for small companies, prepare tax returns for companies and
individuals, or offer consulting services for certain types of transactions or
industries.
Many accountants seek certifications to evidence their attainment of certain
levels of professional competence. These certifications include Certified
Professional Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and
Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). Some accountants also specialize in certain
areas of accounting, such as tax accounting, oil and gas accounting, forensic accounting
(bankruptcy), or international accounting.
Why It Matters:
Although people often refer to accountants as “bean counters” who focus on
the smallest details, accountants have the rare advantage of being able to
understand both the details of each area of a company and the big picture. This
broad and deep knowledge is why CEOs often come from the ranks of accounting and
finance.
Effective accountants must be able to solve problems creatively and analyze
information to gain insight into situations. They must also be able to
persuasively discuss and defend their views, stay abreast of new e-commerce and
software technologies, manage projects and deadlines, and have the confidence to
make recommendations and policies that affect an entire organization. Above all,
successful accountants are good communicators, act ethically, and rigorously
follow the law and accounting rules.
It is very important to understand that not all accountants are CPAs. CPAs are
licensed by the states in which they practice. To become a CPA, an accountant
must complete a formal program of study at a college or university, pass the
Uniform CPA Examination administered by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and have a certain amount of related work experience. Each
state’s board of accountancy determines the exact requirements in each of
these three areas. In some states, only CPAs can perform certain accounting
functions. The Securities and Exchange Commission also requires that only CPAs
perform certain functions.
Each state board of accountancy requires its CPAs to keep current on accounting
rules and practices by taking Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses
each year. Each board determines how many CPE credits a CPA in that state must
obtain each year and what activities warrant these credits.
